Oast Quilters meeting, Saturday 5th March 2022

 

Before general admittance (Photo from Facebook page)

As our other venue has limited access and parking we met in another school, St Anselm's, to shop, Show & Tell and hear member, Mandy Munroe, talk about her recent work much of which has been published in magazines.

I always enjoy Show & Tell and usually have something of mine included especially now when there's a backlog.

My Log Cabin Interrupted from a previous workshop by Mandy

Tracy Aplin's quilt from an Australian pattern

I think this might be Marianne's??

Oast Meet

Saturday was Corners meeting at Oast. I did one on the log cabin star design shown earlier starting HERE and Gyleen Fitzgerald's nifty technique for doing inset seams shown HERE and HERE. Some of the U3A class can be seen with their versions HERE.
I gather all the corners were very good - certainly people arrived at mine pleased with the one they had just seen. As the 15 minute time slot can be hard to keep to this time I had the different stages pinned on various boards ready so I didn't have to fiddle with piles of pieces and I finished before the bell. 
There were lots of lovely quilts in Show and Tell and here are some of them:

By Mandy Monroe and
published in a magazine.

Made for a sixth grandchild
from a panel.

More gasps of approval for Jill Dedrick's hand and machine worked quilt.

UFO sorted out and completed, one of several projects finished at last by
Fiona Jeffries(?).

Superb broderie perse quilt by, I think, Sue Jennings (?)

 Super extra large hand sewn clamshells from Maggie Brekaspear,
alternate rows of wax prints and swswe fabric quilted on her long arm.
Matching mitred corners. A favourite!
