Exhibition 2010 - Quilts on Display 2

 
Quilt by Genell  - "The Things you find in a Scrap Bag".  Genell says most of the little blocks were in a scrap bag purchased from Precious Time.  With matching fabric available - well, it just grew.  Very pretty quilt, Genell.
 
"Golden Moments" by Ena Brown.  Ena made this small quilt to celebrate a 50th anniversary for dear friends.
 
"Gollies" made by Sheila D - A Craft Cubby pattern - machine appliqued and Sheila painted the faces.

"Double Twisted Hexagon" by Lyn Crump.  This quilt was inspired by antique quilt blocks.  The double twisted hexagon was originally published in England in the late 1890's.  Lyn used reproduction fabrics and fussy cutting to make this wall hanging.
 
"Flowers for Jean" was made by Linda W.  A pattern by Susie Atkins.  Linda machine pieced this quilt and machine embroidered this quilt for her sister in law who always likes her quilts
 
"Tulips for Marion" by Angela Langdon.  Angela's daughter-in-law loves tulips and also the tulip fabric which Angela had bought some years ago.  Angela thought the fabric was ideal for stack and whack and it looks like she was right!  A stunning quilt and beautifully machine quilted by Angela herself.
 
This little quilt was embroidered by one of our youngest Members, Rachel.  She is just 12 years old!  Hand embroidered baby animals and machine quilted it is her first effort at hand embroidery. She has called the quilt "Furry Friends".  Well done Rachel.

"Dragon Fires" by Glenda T.  Glenda bought the pattern on eBay - A Top of the Range Design.  Made for her daughter's birthday two years ago but finished in August 2010.  We know what it is like Glenda!  :-)

Isn't this the cutest nursery quilt?  " "Isla's Quilt" by Joan Barwick. Joan designed this quilt herself and it has been made for their 2nd grandchild "Isla Minnette Frances" using applique, embroidery and the quilt has been hand quilted.

"Paddington Bear" designed and made by Dianne S. Dianne made this for her grandchild and she loved the colours. Also, Paddington Bear is a favourite of Diannes.

These are just some more of the gorgeous quilts we had on display - more tomorrow....
