This fortnight Tuesday was my Quilt Group day.... as usual there was some magnificent Show and Tell....
These were so dainty and pretty....
As you can see club is not strictly quilting.....
sometimes the simplest of quilts come out so well.... lovely and bright
I do love Tim Holst fabrics and this pattern just matched the fabrics so well I thought..... I would have happily snuck this one into my bag!
The group is a registered charity and as well as quilts they have been making bags for use by people having Breast Cancer treatment... on the table were a bunch that we cut out so members could take home and sew....
My quilts have been carried to quilt group in this draw string bag made out of some kind of stretchy holey t shirt stuff..... useful but not that pretty - I made a bunch of them a while ago and lots have found new homes....
When I got home I spied a parcel behind the pot plant at the front door (we have the most wonderful postie)
Sue recently had a birthday celebration and give away and lucky me won it...
Inside was the jelly roll and pattern as well as a couple of gorgeous kits and a beautiful big bag which she made from the left overs of her quilt
These are the fabrics in the roll... and I found a fabric in my stash which will be perfect as the background (it looks very grey here but it is in reality quite a blue grey)
The pattern is by Sew Preeti Quilts.... she makes the most delightful quilts - (a couple of years ago I made Sister blocks which she had designed). Sue's version is HERE
Looking forward to doing this one.... need to sort out some cutting time....
The bag in the parcel was HUGE.... so now it is going to be my posh new take to group quilt bag ....
Righto, Gotto Go... I seem to have a few things to do....
Today is Rememberance Day... the day the guns went silent to end WW1... but there are many other wars too so we remember them all
I have my Paternal Grandfathers Bible... he was a Church Minister and served during that war. My Dad served in the second.
I only wish mankind would learn and stop fighting about everything....
