After the Delay

Sorry Ladies, missed posting for a couple of weeks, but the Chancellor needed my end of year account (we are no longer in recession, you can thank me later!)

Right -

Helen Spence came to this evenings meeting to share her "6 Tricks with Triangles" demonstration.

Like a Lamb to the Slaughter!



 It doesn't look like she's bothered though
Because they had all had the warning to behave!!
Picture of innocence!

 We started with Somerset Folded Patchwork




A 3D flower


And then we had 3D Flying Geese ( sometimes called "one seam Flying Geese") 

And continuous Prairie Points, which everyone was amazed at.



Helen also showed us another way to set blocks on point, or A Square in A Square, without cutting triangles!



Everyone had a chance to have a go at these methods, and minds are whirring with ideas.


A Good Evening, 
Thank you Helen!

Here are some photos taken over the last couple of weeks

Elizabeth is making a Winnie the Pooh quilt

this is lovely





Jackie has made a Harry Potter cushion, very effective (and a bit scary!)





A great use of a geometric print
Is he a baddie?
Hayley has finished this years first Christmas project. So sweet

love the stripy print

Eileen has started another marathon quilt, with lots of appliqué. Looking good Eileen

Dainty lady












At first glance, I thought this was a Dresden Plate, but its an arrangements of hearts.

Unusual
Ena has a project on the go, this looks like a lot of work Ena. And there is a pic of another couple of starts that Christine & Chris are working on. More of these to follow,
And last but not least    
Angela

Well done Angela it is fabulous
Will have pride of place at our Exhibition in September.

  2. Phew! You all had a lot to learn from Helen, and I would like a refresher on how to set a block on point.
