Tuesday Gatherings

Tuesdays at TQ headquarters seems to get bigger and bigger.  Almost every Tuesday now something is happening.

We have had Lyn Crump (from Busy Quilting) showing the ladies foundation piecing and at the same time working on this year’s raffle quilt.  We have small mini projects if members wish to participate.  These are let by a member of the group.  Some of the ladies have just done string quilts with Angela on a Tuesday and this month Lyle is leading the ladies on another piecing adventure. 

Most every Tuesday now we have lovely quilts lining the walls for show and tell.

The following are from Tuesday 20 th March.

This lovely bag from Joan R.  “Quilting Angel at Work – Prepare for Random Miracles”.  Very cute.

Joan R. is really achieving lately and has completed this hexagon flower quilt.  She also did her own free motion quilting on it.  Congratulations on the lovely work, Joan.

Lorelle used some lovely fabric panels to make up this delightful quilt.

Here is an unusual teapot!!!  It is called “Hilarity” and belongs to our doll maker extraordinaire, Lyn L and is a pattern by Maxine Gallagher of Toowoomba. 

This hanging doll is made by Lyn L and is a pattern by Christine Shiveley (USA).

This gorgeous machine embellished silk box was made by Maxine Gallagher for Lyn. L.

A very pretty childs quilt made by Sue H from some ‘acquired’ Beatrix Potter panels.  Sue completed the embroideries and a friend stipple quilted the quilt for her.

On Tuesday 3rd April, Lyn Crump will be helping members put the borders on the raffle quilt and she will then go ahead and quilt it.  Thank you Lyn for co-ordinating this year’s raffle quilt.
