MARCH 10th 2016

Cathy has been trying another type of scrap quilting,
Crazy patchwork onto a foundation fabric. This can be
confusing to  some people who like things orderly.

Chris has been making split 9 patch blocks for her
 scrappy baby quilt.All in shades of pink and white
for the new baby girl who is due in the spring.

Irene's beautiful peacock coloured quilt is really
 taking shape now,it seems like a single bed size,
she is really enjoying making this.

This panel was part of fabric brought to us from a lady
at SPQ. beautiful pastel teddy's, Jenny is making a quilt
for a "mother and baby home". Our group has added this
home to our list of recipients for any spare quilts and
bargain baby buys. Personally my family haven't had any
babies to enjoy for 29 years , how things can change.

This is Annettes Bargello quilt,started with
Barbara Chainey. Its a single size and just
needs 2 borders to frame the pattern. So striking
and a credit to her perseverance , when you do
 a workshop you only have time to do a section.
I know that it is so easy to forget what you are
 doing and it becomes a ufo.

This is my Baltimore type quilt almost finished quilting.
As it has lots of embroidery I just wonder how practical
it will be. I dont think it will take a lot of washing,
maybe one just to look at.

I went shopping for our baby Jasmine at the weekend,
only for bits and pieces. As her mum Sam
 likes designer names, my husband questioned using
Aldi bags? not likely. I had 1 1/2 hours before
or Mothers day gathering so had to make this.
It is a teddy storage bag. Not big enough  so a
request today for something else !!!
