Ailsa has been very busy during lockdown making some quilts to
be donated. She sent them along to Karen to take to Nambour this week
Sheila showed us this little drawstring bag made for her by a friend.
As Sheila says - "Bag made by Ruth Blom ,aged 98 , a former member of
the Buderim craft cottage for many years. Ruth belonged to pottery ,
china painting and needlework. She was Sheila’s neighbour for 10 years
before moving to Ipswich. She has a small singer sewing machine set up
in her room in Villa Maria nursing home and continues to make drawstring
bags. What an inspiration!"
Sue contemplating which circle should go next. What will this be when
it is finished? She won't tell.
Courtney is embroidering a fine table centre.
Glenys is a sashiko fiend since the lockdown
Loraine C. caught up with an e-mail and pics of her beautiful quilts.
"Photos of two quilts I have done this year - other small baby quilts that I sewed I did not photograph. The Star is a foundation piecing that I did in 2016 - from stash fabric! So I put it together and did the free motion quilting during Covid. The pattern and directions for 'Star' quilt is from Jeanne Harrison. It was a block of the month - all online. I sewed everything on my Janome Horizon - quilting the centre section and the four large outer triangles separately, then joining them together.
There is also a Facebook page. I think Jeanne passed away last year - she was a wonderful teacher of free motion quilting online."
Sue has sent us a link to Lori Kenney's blog with a tutorial to make a reusable Transparent Overlay to test your quilt designs. A brilliant idea.
