Quilts on display, Cuppa for Cancer

Lots of members have been busy lately. These are a few quilts that have been displayed at the meeting days.

The club held a Cuppa for cancer morning tea. The theme was to dress as an odd bod.

There were some interesting ways to dress up or down. These are the winners who were very creative.

 A Scrumptious morning tea was served with the best china.

 Genell wore her hat with odd balls hanging off it.

Don't you love Valdaries shoes, they were woollen and handmade.

Some quilts were also on display

 

Quilts on display

Members have been busy getting quilts completed for our upcoming exhibition in September.

 While some other members have been learning how to design and colour fabric with gelli plate printing and textile paints.

Workshops

It has been a hive of activity lately at the sewing days. The club recently held a workshop with Lisa Walton showing us her Fantastic Fusion technique.

We all had a fabulous time and now look forward to seeing some stunning results.

One of the club members also led a class making a mystery quilt. After 3 sewing days which had everybody guessing what the pattern was going to be like, all was revealed and everyone very pleased with the result.

 A few of the tops completed by some very eager sewers.

There were so many different colours and they all looked fabulous.

This quilt is a WIP. The club's librarian has been very busy sorting out books and finding interesting designs. She came across this one and had to start making it. Lovely batik colours.

Rusting day

Saturday 19th March the TQ TAQ group met and Julie demonstrated some techniques for rusting fabric.

Julie showed 2 of her quilts that she had made.

Some fabric soaking with the rust showing through.

 

Christine has also been busy and has designed a logo.

Some of the ladies showed their journal pages that they received.
