At our March meeting, Carole was worried about the non arrival of her first order from Hancocks. Turns out the package was doing a Grand European tour!. It went to Austria, Zurich and London and took more than three weeks to make it to Melbourne.
Jennifer is really on the home straight with her Floral Flourish quilt - sewing on the hanging sleeve.
Carole takes the prize for optimism. She suggested don't worry if you prick your finger and get blood on your quilt. If the quilt is ever stolen, your DNA will allow positive identification.
And now for a few photographs. This month I used my new Canon G11 instead of lugging the heavy bulky Nikon to the gathering and I will be interested to see how the quality compares.
Carole has been experimenting with thread painting. The background is a photo of Lavatera flowers from her garden.
Another piece from Carole - A Tuscan village - absolutely gorgeous colours.
Last month, Barbara was knitting hammocks for rats. This month the spoilt animal is Carole's daughter's dog. Its quilt is made of one inch squares and Carole was using it to practise free motion quilting.
Val was binding a Gift Quilt for P's and Q's.
Kate (thanks to Jennifer R for piecing 9 blocks) had assembled the Bedford Mystery quilt. Actually two kits each of nine blocks and 2 extra blocks to make a quilt of 5 x 4 blocks. It is truly scrappy!
