Lyn is a regular visitor to our retreat and is always a 'high achiever'. She put this gorgeous quilt together on the weekend. It was all cut out ready to go and she got it finished moments before show and tell.
Gabrielle is putting the finishing blocks together for this wonderful Baltimore style quilt after 15 years!~! Her daughter picked the quilt out but then changed her mind, so it has been languishing in the UFO basket until Gabrielle got the inclination to finish it.
Jill is auditioning her latest quilt blocks in lovely bright modern fabrics. She is ably assisted by her sister Pat (R) and Sue M (L). It is going to be a striking quilt, Jill.
Sue M showing us the beginnings of a blue and white "Delectable Mountain" quilt she has embarked on. Neat work Sue.
Pat is a first time visitor to our retreat and showed us this quilt she has finished for a friend who likes all things USA.
Isn't this a beautiful quilt?? Made and shown here by Cora who is a busy lady, but always seems to get a quilt done during the year. Well done, Cora.
Linda R had this slash and stack quilt all cut out and ready to go for retreat. It is done in these most beautiful flannels and is sure to be a cuddly and cosy quilt. Nice quilting too Linda.
This fantastic scrappy hearts quilt is also done by Linda R and shown here by Ann who is holding up the border Linda has pieced for this quilt. Every fabric is from Linda's stash and Linda says the stash has not been very diminished. She says her scraps must be 'sexually active' as they seem to be multiplying!!!
Oh so pretty. Quilt done by Shirley, a friend of ours who comes almost every year to retreat with Ann J. Thank you Shirley for bringing your quilt top along to show us. Good work.
Here is our one and only (but not lonely) male member who is working on the most beautiful stained glass project from "Aussie Applique". All the blocks are Australian flora and fauna. Alton was accompanied to the retreat by his wife, Diane. It was lovely to have them along for the first time, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves (children free!)
Alton and Diane showing more of the stained glass blocks. There are 27 in all.
Not a good photo, but this is the quilt.
Ann with her little quilt she has made from some 'challenge fabrics' she was given on her recent quilt tour to the UK. A lovely memento.
Lola had time ( in between being cheeky) to work on her Grandmother's flower garden. Happy colours just like our little Lola.

Thoroughly enjoyed all the 'pics' of the Show & Tell taken at Toowoomba Quilters annual retreat. I look forward to seeing them all completed at our 2011 Quilt Exhibition. Lots of happy faces even though the weather wasn't kind. Sorry I couldn't be there this year. Fay S.
