Quilt Production Line

It seems like there is a production line going at Toowoomba Quilters these past few weeks.  Lots of wonderful charity quilts being churned out by our energetic community quilting ladies, and lots of individual quilts being produced too.
Here are some charity quilts.  Remember, these quilts are made from donated fabrics and tops from various individuals and groups.  We appreciate these very kind donations.

A lovely dresden plate quilt finished off by our community quilting ladies.  Lovely accent of machine embroidery around the inner circle.

The machine embroidered pieces were donated and our girls finished it off!  Thank you to Andrew who quilted it for us on his long arm machine.  It was difficult as the border and backing fabric was a bit ‘stretchy’.  Well done, Andrew.
17.04.12 Pansy Quilt
The appliqued pansy pieces were donated and the borders were added by our ladies.  It came up beautifully.

A beautiful Autumn flowers batik quilt made with donated batik fabric. Destined to become a charity fund raiser quilt.

Another beautiful batik quilt made using some left over fabric from our 2012 raffle quilt.  The design is the very popular disappearing 9 patch.

Some Robyn Pandolf fabrics were donated for this quilt.  Subtle, soft and lovely. 
Hearty congratulations to our community quilters for all the fine quilts they are churning out.

This is a stunner.  A wall hanging from Angela Langdon, called “Gum Blossom & Dragonfly”. Angela did this in a workshop with Lorraine Carthew called ‘Mosaic Applique” in 2006.  Well, she has finally finished it and has even pieced the back with some gorgeous hand dyed fabrics from Lorraine Carthew.  Beautiful!!
24.04.12 Black red white D Rayward
Diana R has made this eye catching quilt top.  Look forward to seeing it quilted.
24.04.12 Blue Strippy Marleen
Marleen made this striking string quilt under the guidance of Angela Langdon and she has made it especially for her husband.  She saw the pattern on Bonnie Hunter’s site, www.quiltville.com
24.04.12 Diana Orange quilt
Diana R has also made this vividly coloured quilt.  It is called “Welsh Hills and Valleys”.  Diana purchased this packaged kit in 2010 from Maleny Patchwork..  Diana has free motion quilted this quilt herself and when she was doing the quilting it reminded her of hills and valleys.  Nice job, Diana.
So, you see, we have a great deal of talent and expertise within our club.
