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.

Sampler Quilt Course

Over the past three months fifteen enthusiastic Club members have participated in a Sampler Quilt Course taught by Angela Langdon.  Here are some of the students with their quilt tops.

There are more to come and maybe some of the quilts will be completed for display at our Exhibition in September?  Lyn L has progressed hers and is shown here using the Mulberry Millie Upright Quilt Basting frame that the Club has recently purchased to help save our backs!

Earlier this year we purchased a Horn Craft Plus table - another piece of back-saving equipment - that can be used during our workshops and social sewing meetings.
