Tuesday Show and Tell

 
Yvonne has made this bright, cheerful, funky quilt for her Neice's 21st birthday.  She was tieing it on Tuesday with some gorgeous multi-coloured sashiko thread.
Five of the blocks are the big beautiful blue flower print. Nice work Yvonne.
 
 
WOW.  Jan  G has completed her scattered tile quilt which she started in Robyn Ginn's workshop.  Sure is bright and beautiful, Jan.
 
Fabulous Medallion quilt put together by Denise.  Denise has had this professionally quilted by Kathy Adams of Kool Kat Quilting, Toowoomba.
Here is a close up of the centre medallion.  Denise has used a quirky strip in the centre piece (not showing up well in the photo).  It works really well.  A lovely quilt, Denise.
 
Here is a bit of a twist on the sashiko - black and white - by Wendy.  Wendy has combined her sashiko pieces with some cute black and white blocks.  Lovely.

 The 2010 Toowoomba Quilters Club Inc. quilt raffle (shown above)  was drawn on Saturday 6 November.

Our lucky winner with ticket No 0848 was Val Squair of Toowoomba.  Congratulations Val, and we hope your quilt brings you much warmth over the years.
Val will be presented with the quilt at our next meeting on Saturday December 4th.  The Multiple Sclerosis Group will also be presented with a cheque. Our Christmas luncheon will be held on that day too, so it is going to be an exciting fun day.

Leanne came straight up to our meeting rooms to collect her prize.  Congratulations to Leanne, and we hope you are enjoying your winnings.

2011 looks like being another busy year for Toowoomba Quilters.  We have many workshops coming up including a beginners workshop with Angela Langdon.  So if you have ever thought of 'taking the plunge' into the world of patchwork and quilting, do consider becoming a members and taking advantage of these wonderful workshops.
