Another job done

Another quilt has been quilted for a friend of mine. She had a go herself but found it too hard on her shoulders and back. So I have done it for her. I did it similar to the last little kids one. 

All over with stars and loops with scattered animals. It has turned out really cute. All she has to do now is stitch on the binding.

The light inside was a bit dark with the gloomy days we have been happy but I was able to get the photo on the line before it rained again.

Heathcote's WIP baby quilt

Part of being a member of a quilt group is to help out where & when needed.

We have our quilt show coming up at the end of the year so we are working on the raffle quilts.

We have a larger one being done and this little beauty.

A cute little baby quilt. 

The embroidered blocks were donated.

A few of the ladies pieced the blocks together.

Fun quilting with a giraffe, rabbit,whale & dolphins

Then I added a dog, cow, pig, horse & birds

 Next to come was a cat, sheep & an elephant.


 

Then to add some framing colour I did a double binding of blue and orange.

I hope the girls like what I have done. 

All that is left is to finish the binding.

This is my.    WIP WEDNESDAY project today.

4 Day Retreat with friends part 1

I was lucky enough to go away with my local quilt group, Kilmore Quilters last weekend. Our 4 day retreat was to the Alpine Ash retreat at Toolangi. We had a great time with lots of laughter and fun, of course, some sewing too.

This is what I got up to.....

 

5 BLANKETS OF LOVE  for CHERYLL

Another jigsaw puzzle quilt for the boys. This one is a little different. I ran out of some larger fabric and was left with smaller pieces. So I decided to cut some 6" squares and fit them into a 12" to give a different look.

 And of course we visited The Patchwork Teahouse in Warburton for lunch and shopping.

We also had Anna's Patchwork Quilt shop from Taggerty visit us
