Workshops, Winning quilts

Some of the club members have been busy learning the basics of patchwork and quilting with our in-house tutor Angela by attending the Sampler Quilt workshop for beginners. The course has been conducted over the last few weeks and attendees have learnt how to make a quilt and discovered the different patterns and techniques to make a quilt.

These are a few of the quilts that have been made and were shown by the participants.

Pat also brought along her winning quilts from another local district show.

Variety of Quilts

Some new Committee members were elected at our 2015 AGM held on 3 March. Contact details for the Club are listed on our Website: just click on the link on the right-hand side of this blog.

The variety of quilts made by our members is always amazing.  Here are some that have been displayed at recent sewing days.

Bev B started to make a quillow for her granddaughter's birthday but was not happy with the result so converted it to  quilt and bag.

June P used a disappearing 9-patch with I-spy blocks to make this quilt for Melody's baby.

Joan R bought souvenier fabrics on her trip to New Zealand and made them into this lovely quilt.

Pat L has been awarded numerous prizes for her quilts that she has displayed at some local shows (Allora and Pittsworth) this year.  Congratulations to her for her quilts and her prizes. These are some of them:
