Display of colourful quilts

The walls of the club's meeting room were filled with a colourful display of some quilts that have been completed lately.

Norelle proudly displayed her quilt which won champion in the Toowoomba handicraft section of the show with her quilt "Something new from Something old". Norelle had a collection of old doileys and used them in the centre of each block and crazy pieced the blocks to enhance the doiley.

This is a scrappy trip around the world and has been donated to the club's community quilting group. It has been made with lots of leftover fabric's.

Sharon has been busy putting her Bargello top together after last week's instruction on how to make a Bargello quilt. The borders are still to be put on.

The hand embroidery on the edge is spectacular. ( This quilt won viewer's choice at our show). Congratulations, Robyn.

Kathy Adams of KoolKat Quilting won First Prize - Machine System Quilter with her wonderful quilt, The Sky is Blue the Sea is Blue.  Well done Kathy.  We know how much work went into this quilt and it is very deserving of first prize.
