U3A Monday Show and Tell

The U3A  patchwork group met this last Monday for the new term and New Year. Many familiar faces and a couple of very welcome new ones. Some had given away projects as presents but several completed ones were brought in for us all to see.
Seeing the variety made me realise how much we covered last year.

I was so busy admiring
the use of stripes on this
one I didn't note who
made it but think it was
Anne.

Rosemary's log cabin star
cushion made from Australian
fabrics.

New member, Lesley's,
hand pieced hexagon flower
garden quilt.

Margaret's log cabin star

And Margaret's mystery quilt: shadow on some pictures is my camera shutter which didn't close properly.

Stephanie's New Zealand fabric quilt has a woven effect achieved by cutting oblongs say 5" by 7" and adding 1" strips to two opposite sides to form a square. You have to cut directional or picture prints some vertically and some horizontally.

This is Stephanie's mystery quilt with sashing added between the blocks. It's for her husband and he loves it.

Also from Stephanie and  also with sashing are disappearing nine patches which look like figures of eight.
