Exhibition 2010 - Finale

 The visitors kept coming, and the final day of our exhibition was busy right up until closing.  A very successful event and a fabulous venue.  We hope to be able to secure the same venue for next year - Salo Centre, Rome Street, Toowoomba.  See you all in September 2011.
Here are some glimpses of what was happening throughout the week and some of the wonderful quilts and items we had on display.

Here is our industrious exhibition convenor, Angela.  Angela did an admirable job in pulling the team together and getting this wonderful exhibition together.  She spent her time at the exhibition showing some strip piecing techniques.  String quilts are one of Angela's passions and she is also a competent machine quilter and tutor.
 
This is just some of what Angela achieved during the week.  Visitors were very interested in this quick and easy way of putting together a quilt top.

 Busy lady!!

 
Now for some more small items  which were on display at the exhibition.  Sashiko is very popular in our club at the moment and Diana R has set the ball in motion with her wonderful sashiko placements.  Beautifully sewn.

A lovely basket by Pam G using strips of fabric around cotton twine.  The photo doesn't show the lovely detail on the front but it is a beaut big basket, very useful for taking your sewing projects to class or club.
Our youngest member, Isaac, is just 10 years old.  He has made this chenille place mat with help from his Nan, Toni (also a member).  This is his first effort at sewing and he says it taught him how to sew a straight line.  He did a very fine effort of it, and he is now excited to start on his next project.  By the way, our oldest member is Phyllis who is 90 - and a half.



















This is the most exquisite cross stitch, done by our member, Val P.  "Mighty Samari" was from a Dimensions, Fox Magazine and Val made this for her son and wife.  The work in this is very fine and a credit to her.

 
"Boonah Dreaming" by Dorothy C.  Dorothy began this wall quilt in a workshop with Robyn Christofel.  She has used overlays and fibres which create depth.  Good work Dorothy!
