Getting back into the swing of things

 Lots of washing, ironing, shopping, cooking, cleaning, hair cut and admin. this last week and also back at Quay Quilters after missing the last meeting when I was away.

There was a pincushion challenge which I omitted to photograph then Show & Tell. 

Colin's super applique block for our
group quilt

John's origami piece. Exquisite

Mary has made lovely baby quilts
for young family friends.
So nicely made.


For a little boy who will grow up by the sea



















 
















I am usually the photographer for the WhatsApp group so absentees see our projects so my quilts don't generally feature but this time someone asked for my phone. I'm pleased as it's good to see them held up.



Sarong back

Then our talk was Ann on the varieties of ninepatches using her QQ beginners' sampler quilt (from 1997- I was class of 95) as illustration. Trip down memory lane plus lots of potential uses.

The completed quilt

Second set of blocks still to be made up


The current crop of beginners were making Grandmother's Fan with Mary I's guidance. We'll see the results next time.
