Marie was quilting her 1930s hexagon quilt, and brought along this Christmas wall-hanging to show us. It started out as a bag and grew. The design is the friendship star block Vireya used in her couch quilt.
We love scrappy quilts!
Marilyn brought along her sewing machine, and pieced the binding for her quilt. I thought this photo might be out of focus, and I was right.
We all discussed how Marilyn should prepare her quilt to attach the binding. Some of us trim first then sew, others sew then trim.
Joanne showed us her completed piece from the "Working with Triangles" course.
Joanne definitely is now hooked on quilting, as she suggested she might be back in May. We know this because she also showed us the next two projects she has started - some placemats, and a bed quilt using beautiful fabrics hand-printed by women in the Tiwi Islands.
Joy worked on her appliqué, and showed us this table runner which she has entirely hand pieced and hand quilted.
It was made during weekly quilt-guild meetings she was attending, so it took a while to complete because she only worked on it at those meetings.Vireya did some embroidery embellishment on her latest Red Delicious block. She doesn't stab herself with the embroidery needle anywhere near as frequently as she does with the appliqué needle.
We also had a visit from someone who wants to start coming along to quilters' circle, so we hope to see her again soon. Our next meeting is in two weeks, on the 19th October.
