Quilts quilts and more quilts, with lots more besides.

Lots and lots going on this week.


Even these two seem to be getting on with some work.....
At least the needle is threaded.
 Angie is working on her reindeer as part of her Christmas quilt.
Good job she washed behind her ears.....

 Pam and Betty are also making some of their blocks..... looks like a gingerbread house from Betty, but not sure of Pam's one.
 We have a flock of birds from Sheila
hope they don't all fly away
 Glennis is working on her cross stitch.....hope we see this again to see how it grows.
Very colourful
 Ena has been working on her smocking sampler and changing it into a bright beautiful cushion
Love that binding.
 Ellen and Toni are mass producing the clear zipper bags that were part of the all day workshop
London fabrics!!! they should be selling them outside the Olympic Village
Quilts quilts and more quilts....

these are just the beginning of Ann's (Mrs Beals) 'quilt as you go' 

60 blocks done, just another 30 to go..
 Chris is making this baby quilt in '30's fabric..... such sweet fabrics and colours
Just look at that scalloped edge.. 
 June has just finished her 'Layer Cake' quilt......started on 4 July,

Pretty fabrics
 Now Murial's quilt took a little longer than June's.  This was part of the block of the month quilts that were started about 2 1/2 years ago, but remember these quilts were all hand pieced and this one has also been hand quilted.


This photo should be showing you the back of the quilt and the detail of the hand quilting, but it looks more like a photo of rear of the year.
 Last Saturday at our LQS here some of these book covers were created....... smart aren't they.

If you fancy making one, maybe there may be a place available in September, check it out here

Goodness what a lot of creative folk we have in our group?
