QUILT SHOW


Last weekend one of my patchwork groups had their quilt show. I was there all day Saturday being a quilt angel , greeting people at reception and selling raffle tickets . Despite the cold, wet and windy weather we had quite a few people attend . Unfortunately, I wasn't there on Sunday and I missed Melody! If you pop over to her blog you can see heaps of quilts she took pics of. Just click on her name for the link. I only have a few pics. The first pic is a beautiful hexie quilt which is a variation of the Insanity quilt that I am doing.  I love the way the borders have followed the zig zag of the hexies. and the stitcher has also appliqued all the little hexies along the edges on the back. I can't remember the lady's name but shall put it up on my next post. Apologies. Yes, that's me in the oversized apron and wrinkly white gloves. Apparel wasn't provided for my height deficiency. Hehehe.




 
 
 
This next one is Rae's hand pieced quilt which she stitched and finished waaaay before me! She saw the copy of the pattern I had, decided she liked it and did it. I completed all the rows of hexies  a couple of years ago and have made 2 central borders of the stars but that is as far as mine got.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This next one is Brenda's fan quilt that I would dearly love to  make. Hubby took all these pics for me so I apologise that they are not close ups.
 
 
 
 
 
Since then I have done another little stitchery for a pressie.
 
 
 
 
 There is also one in my hoop.
 
 
 
 
 
I know, I know, I need to finish things before starting more.  My excuse is that these are for pressies, secret stitching.  In my sewing room I have the binding ready to stitch down on the Christmas wallhanging and the Gail Pan one too. So, hopefully I shall get those completed tonight.
 
I hope you have enjoyed the sunshine today. I picked some flowers.
 
 
 
 
Angel Blessings to you all.
