June 2013 Meeting

Hello again!  Today saw the TPG Quilt Group meet up to see what everyone has been up to since the quilt show in May. 

Last months' round of challenge blocks - the crazy block - were on show (along with a few stragglers from previous months!):

Ruth presented the group with this month's challenge block, the stained glass effect.  Her demonstration blocks are a great sample of what can be created with this technique:

My mind is already ticking over with stained glass images.  I'm sure this will be the case with everyone else in the group as the interest these blocks sparked was quite intense!

Show and tell saw a few quilt tops and bags in particular grabbing everyone's attention. (I apologise in advance for a couple of blurry photos!)

We also had some pre-made blocks and made quilt tops donated to the group as well that some members will take to turn into completed quilts which will then be donated accordingly to those in need.  Thanks so much for the donations Emma!

Stay warm!
