February–a busy month for our Quilters

A busy month is planned for Toowoomba Quilters.

The first meeting of February brought us a lovely display of what people were working on over the holidays.

Marleen K did these lovely home decor items in sashiko and Japanese fabrics – cushions and chair backs.  Marleen has used gold coloured sashiko thread.

Kathy Adams held a workshop in January using a very easy peasy skirt pattern.  Many of the participants wore their skirts on Tuesday and did a fashion parade.

Thank you to those kind people who put the hard work into making the quilt and to those who contributed material for it.

The top of the quilt is now completed – beautiful.

Lovely to see Vicki's version of my "Fairy Bears & Butterflies" quilt design. :0) I'm sure it will be loved & snuggled under for many years to come. Bear Hugs!
