Stitching News

Our Peggy finished another little quilt/play mat...
She loves making them, though she's never quite sure what she will do with each one until it's completed. Many have been donated to the Donna Louise Hospice.
This particular "Eye Spy" playmat will go to Linus.
Toot toot toot Peggy, your quilt is just fabulous. 

Morning Josie is advancing with her skill set... not long ago she would not have attempted these tiny little HST's (Half Square Triangles) but looky-look... they are fabulous! Inspired by a picture in a magazine and the Makower Nautical fabrics...

Jean Bean Stacked and Whacked with a slightly different method to make these fabulous kaleidoscope pinwheels... just as much fun to do and using slightly more of Jean's thinking power... the fabrics are All Aboard from Benartex

Claire Sainsbury's and her lovely Mum, Sandy, had a little retreat treat.
They both booked to come to Friday Quilt Club and spent a wonderful day making this beautiful quilt top together. What a lovely way to spend a day!

Marilla needed a little bit more Presencia Perle Cotton, number 8. Lucky for us she had to bring her Quilt to make sure she chose the right colour... Barbara Chainey persuaded Marilla to make this quilt... it's all hand pieced as is most, in fact almost ALL of Marilla's work...

Don't you love the Big Stitch Quilting....
It's my number one favourite hand work!!
Marilla has promised to bring her quilt back when it's finished...
This beauty deserves one of our special tootings
