Virtual show and tell-April 2021
It's a bumper month this month so lets get straight to it!
 |
| This is Katie's first finish of the year, and it's for her son |
 |
| Mags is showing some amazing advance planning by starting her Christmas quilt now(although she doesn't specify which Christmas!) This is the first block of the "My favourite colour is Moda" quilt in festive colours. This block is 36"x36"!  Irene took part in the MQG mini swap and produced this lovely green quilt |
She made this quilt for her guild's rainbow challenge and was so impressed with it that she popped out and located a matching child for the photo
This is a bag she made for one of her granddaughters. The pockets on the back are a reused supermarket vegetable bag!
 |
| .....and finally this is her finished quilt from the Quilt Room's BOM |
 |
| This is one of Jo's famous dandelion clock blocks, made in her easily recognisable colour palette. Also has her usual amazing quilting |
show the amazing quilting which she is (very honestly!) not taking the credit for.
It was done by a longarmer by the name of Janette Chilver
 |
| This is her finished ribbon punch quilt from the workshop we did with Jenny Haynes. The quilting on this one was done by one of our former members, Kelly Orr |
Diane has finally finished this quilt kit that she's had for three years!(although i have some that are even older than that!)
She made this cushion from a pattern in Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, and has even hand-quilted it
not a bird!
What a brilliant job of Tartan Kiwi's highland cow design.
A few of us have used this pattern and i'm always amazed how different they all look!
This is Tom's Celebrate Pride quilt, a pattern from the Athena Workshop
and this is his finished Adelyn Kay quilt, pattern by Bret Auilt Designs.
There was a doggie pic to go with this one but the dog was grubby and therefore cannot be Eddie (aka world's cleanest dog)
Perhaps if Tom spent less time pattern testing he would have noticed that Eddie has been swapped for a dog with much lower standards of cleanliness
Liz has been busy this month! The ram mosaic was from a class she did with the QGBI.
The multitude of mice are for a project to provide all children starting school this year with a toy mouse to carry around with them, hopefully reducing the stress of the first few weeks.
Two will be leaving for my house, to reduce the stress that my cats suffer when not being fed every few minutes
 |
| Liz has also finished her version of the lockdown quilt, where she has replaced some of our blocks with some of her own!! |
 | ||
| Barbara did another class with Irene Roderick called Choreography with the Wall and these are two pieces that she produced
|
 |
| Anne has just finished piecing this lovely top that she's calling her Moroccan Tile quilt. It's taken some time but it was worth it! All the fabric is from Kaffe Fassett. It's headed to a longarmer to be quilted-very sensible when you look at the size! |
 |
| Sheila has made this as a present for one of her pHD supervisors, but i trust she's not handing it over until she gets her results! The pattern is called Oh Deer, which i'm sure is not going to be a bad omen.... |
brilliant fabric
 |
| Karen has made another tree quilt but this time using the same background fabric for all the blocks to give them the look of floating and highlight her fabulous quilting. I should reassure everyone that Karen is working on some pieces involving birds, so normal service will be resumed next month |
Helen made this brilliant machine needle case with the Tryst
quilting guild. It makes it much easier to keep track of all the different types of needle you have lying around!
Helen made hers from scraps.
She made this one from her stash of Karen Lewis fabric,
which must be somewhat reduced after this!
 |
I've left these two picturess to the end so i can put them together. Heather and Irene are both incredible embroiderers who are big fans of Sue Spargo. These are some blocks from the BOM that they are doing this year and hopefully will supply us with more blocks as they go along. It's such a pity that you can't see how astonishing the colours are until you see them up close. Watch out for the next instalment.
As well as all this work, some of us took part in an embroidery sampler class over 6 weeks with Stitchbirdie. I'll put those in a separate post, along with the first month of our new look bee block challenge!
There are also a few of the guild taking part in the Forthline project, where everyone taking part is given a marked piece of the shoreline and has to produce something to represent it. Hopefully there will be lots of quilted blocks in the finished artwork, which will be on public display once it's finished. I'll do a separate post in this too, once everyone is finished
