December 2016 - lots to look at!

Jane's Country Medallion quilt, adapted to become square

Pretty colours

Delicate middle.  You would not have thought that such a relatively simple change would make such an impact on the quilt as a whole.....
Lynne is making some little quilts....

Jackie at it again with stars


and changing it up with this stunning two colour one for one of her daughters

sooo pretty

Lynne's Christmas garland

with all these lovely little hearts and gingerbread people and cute little cone....

Another of Chris's star quilts for her grandsons

quilted by Janet J S Longarm Quilting



More stars - Jackie or Janet I think

Another one of Janet's prior to quilting

Lesley's table runner - an elegant take on the festive season

Kim working her way round....

My centre - could do better, but it's been a long time lol

Siân's beautiful doily quilt; they look as though they might be more like the dressing table sets you used to have..

but whatever they are, this is an innovative piece of work...

I think this might be the one she took to Australia on a recent trip and it was quilted whilst she was there

Flange round the edges - nice touch

..and the back

Jackie's husband made this

He did well; I think he was lucky to get it back.  We all fell in love with it...

Kim again - next round

Sarah made this piece for her mother


Love the frames and the lace

and the ribbons she has used.  Sarah thinks out of the box more often than not; it is always interesting to see what she will come up with

This is Janet's.  She has an awful lot of them to make, and is buttonholing them as well.  It will be beautiful when it is finished.  Janet got the idea from a rather old book about patchwork quilts and adapted it slightly.

Breakaways 23rd February 2011

Lesley finished her double sided quilt as you go quilt.  It is utterly gorgeous



...the other side.  I don't know which side I like the best, but it is highly covetable!

Christine's been free machining her piece and it looks wonderful

Linda added hand quilting to hers - another terrific piece

Kim hiding behind her Roosting Robin

19th February Workshop with Jane Andreoli

A sample picture by Jane.  She actually brought lots and displayed them around the room

Pondering

Someone looking a little panicky.......

Libby's off

Christine's beginning

Linda put hers together quite quickly

Mine - full of movement as Jane would politely say - I do like to rip LOL


Kim's piece

Kim's with her organza on

Mine had two pieces of organza, one for each part

Sheila's

Linda's with organza

Christine's garden path and wall

Libby's which proved to be very atmospheric


Christine's piece with the organza on

Mine

Libby and hers

Kim's was fantastic


Linda had machine issues but did manage to get some of this great piece quilted

Libby's fantastically atmospheric piece - not sure that it turned out how she intended, but I loved it!

Some of us had the good fortune to attend a workshop with Jane at Denmead Community Centre on the 19th February.    There were a few machine issues, unfortunately. and Kim sewed through her finger which was a total shock but is now healing nicely.The above photos are what some of us got up to.

Jane does a fantastic workshop - very relaxed and really does get the best out of people.  She maintains she is teaching a process rather than rushing for an end product.  A good addition to anybody's stable for workshops or talks. She can be contacted through her website http://www.andreoli.co.uk/jane.html , Denmead Community Centre or via myself if you like....
