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......................

Helen made this quilt for her daughter - sorry, not such a great photo. The quilt was a stunner.

Marlene was making a quilt with doilies - stitched by a friend many years ago (I think I have the story right)

Yola's striking sunflowers - needle turn applique.................

Jane B is making good progress on her beautiful EPP quilt - I think we may get to see this quilt top completed???????
