Exhibition 2010 - Quilts on Display

Over the coming weeks we will be showing some of the over 200 quilts and other items we had on display at our recent exhibtion.  Thank you to all our members who participated in any way in bringing this exhibition together.  It was one of our most successful yet and is a real credit to our club.


















"Beginners Sampler Quilt"  by Lyle
This quilt was inspired by the chair pictured below.  Lyle had the applique centre put together and then took part in Angela Langdon's beginner's sampler quilt.  She then bordered the centre with her sampler blocks and the ideas for other borders were taken from the book "Beautiful Borders and Backings and Bindings" by Jill Riber and Margaret Sindelar.





































 "Lady in Red"  by Carol F
Carol used the window box technique and used this wonderful feature fabric to create her quilt.


















"Wagga 1" by Pam G
There were a few Waggas on display this year at the exhibition.  These are the quintessential Australian-style quilt, originating from around the region of Wagga Wagga, NSW.  In those earlier days they were made from anything the sewer could get her/his hands on.  e.g. old blankets, hessian etc.
Pam has made this one from the woollen fabric from old jackets and shirts etc.
 
"Candlewick Cream on Cream" by Lyle
A stunning candlewick quilt which, unfortunately, did not photograph very well.  Some close-ups have been included below to give you an idea of the stunning work Lyle has done in each and every block of this quilt.
A wonderfully large quilt too.

 "APQ'S 1930's 2009 Block Swap"  by Lyn Crump
Lyn belongs to a Longarm internet forum and the blocks of this quilt were all made by members of this forum.
Blocks based on 1930's designs.


"Autumn Quilt - Wedding"  by Cora
Because Cora's daughter loves the colours of autumn and was married in Autumn, she made her daughter and her new son in law this quilt for their wedding.

 
"Civil War Quilt"  by Lyn Crump
When Lyn was gifted a whole bunch of reproduction fabrics and a pattern from her mother-in-law, she got to and made this delightful quilt. Pattern by Patchwork on Stonleigh.

 
"To Love, Honour and Cherish" by Angela Langdon
This quilt is much more stunning in real life than shown in this photograph!!  Angela made this quilt for her daughter and son-in-law who chose the colours.  She machine quilted the quilt herself using her domestic sewing machine, and using feathers in the border without marking and using a hooked feather method technique developed by Sally Terry.

















"Sarah's Quilt" by Hazel N
Hazel did the stack and whack workshop at the club with Fay Suley earlier this year.  The quilt just grew like topsy and most of the fabrics used were what Hazel already had in her stash.  Very good work, Hazel!!!
