Exhibition 2010 -Quilts on Display 4

 
"Hearts for Hannah"  -  another beautiful quilt made by Robyn Ginn.  All hand appliqued and hand quilted - made for Robyn's granddaughter, Hannah.  The backing is a dress fabric from Hanna's great Nana Sylvia.

"Scrappy Happy"  by Robyn H.  Robyn used as many scraps on hand as she could for this one.  She has hand embroidered herringbone stitch over all the seams.  Many hours of work combined with pleasure in making this one for her daughter.
 
"Swirls and Spirals"  by Fay Suley.  You can tell who the achievers in the club are - there name keeps popping up beside quilts here on the blog.  Fay did this wonderful spiral bargello in a workshop with Lyn Crump.  It was achieved by sewing strips together and cutting wedges with a 10 deg ruler.  Well done Fay, seeing as you inadvertently  missed the class and had only instructions to go by!!!
 
"Tropical Dreaming" by Carol F.  The design is from A Patch of Country N.Z, as seen in a Patchwork and Stitches magazine.  Carol drafted the design up and used scraps for the squares.
 
Another beauty by Lynn Rendle-Short.  Lynn has called this quilt "Spring Stars".  The quilt features mostly Kaffe Fassett fabrics and the design is by queen of mystery quilts Debbie Caffrey
 
Judy D had great fun making this eclectic quilt, thus she has named it "Great Fun":.  Judy is one crazy lady - meaning she loves to do crazy patchwork (nice bright ones) and also loves to create art blocks.  She experiments with lots of 'things' in this quilt, different fabrics, found objects and objects from her childhood.  She was inspired by journal quilts in magazines.  So much to look at here and it makes one want to go and create!
A close up of one of Judy's block where she has used a scrappy background, embroidered felt circles and covered this with some onion bag mesh.  Fantastic!
