Thursday night - Yola's trunk show

A big thank you to Yola for her lovely trunk show.

Her journey began with her family's immigration to Australia when Yola was a child.
This embroidery was done when Yola was in her teens.


The first quilt - still in use as a picnic and "wrestle" quilt by her son and daughter in law.


The spectators!!


We all liked this striking quilt.


Stack and slash.


A bit of cross stitch.


Trip around the world.


Chenille.


A special basket sampler quilt.


Yola uses up her stash for the quilt backings.


This little denim quilt - fabrics from her sons shorts.


Japanese folded squares


A workshop "quilt as you go".


A quilt made for her son and daughter in law - a new "wrestle quilt"


Christmas bells.


Yalo informed us that she had an addiction to Knitwit - she made her own bras!!


Her talents extended to creating albums of her travels.


And card making.


Thanks again, Yola for sharing your quilts with us.

Supper was good..............thanks to Letitia


And Jules.

Thursday night..........

So, Jules was crocheting a rug - but it was soooo big she did not know what to do with it........


After a few suggestions from those present, she decided to unpick it and read something on her ipad at the same time. Multi tasking???


Leanne had a hexie lesson with Sue !!


Jane B and her EPP! Cute Beatles tin....................


Sue had her little Betty Boop bag made up from one of her patterns.


Tina and her wonderful work.


Jane A was working on some fun felt circles.....................


Yola's clamshell block form the GTASB quilt.


Oh my gosh, Marlene's vintage knitting pattern!


Denise had no show and tell - so suggested take a photo of her knitted dress????


Hand piecing 1930's for Jenny.


We were a small group last night - but the noise level was still up there.

 
Just a reminder that we will be completing the little needlecase next week.
Jenny is on supper duty.
Till next Thursday night.......................................
