Quilt Cave

We must all be looking forward to the summer, there are lots of us using sunflower fabrics.... this is Jutta's latest project, she also bought in a fabulous appley cake for us!!!

Therese, Sally and Irene choosing threads, we are making a joint order to the Cotton Patch so as to get free postage... cunning eh!

Garen found this idea for machine quilting one day. She couldn't resist trying it out for herself and made this cut little quilt....

Stitch number 4 on a Bernina but adjusted stitch length. It caused quite a sensation in the quilt cave...

Ursula continued working on the charity stitching, after playing with Garen's new found stitch of course....

Jutta also did some charity stitching and was able to finish the log cabin one that I started on Tuesday, we love the log cabin!! This one only needs a border, we have 8 quilt tops now.
In red is Maureen, she joined us for the first time this week and is making the rail fence beginner project with blue and white fabrics. In pink is Rita, she has been doing her homework from last week and bought in her rail fence project ready to add the borders....
Voila!!! the table runner top is complete, we did start the sandwiching process but her batting was 2" too small so we will do that next week, in the meantime.....
.... she started project number 2 which included "fussy cutting"

Ana spent most of the day cutting the pieces for a kaleidoscope quilt. She cut 8 pattern repeats enough times to make 20 blocks... this is just one set placed together, stunning.

Amalia was working on her Kaleidoscope blocks... more sunflowers! It is difficult sewing with so many bias edges, but with lots of pins .....
here's two of the finished blocks....

Amalia hasn't decided who will be getting this quilt when it is finished, I think her mum has shown great interrest!
After spending the morning charity stitching, Irene made this house block, she bought the quilt pattern from Holland when she was home over Christmas.
