The group met up today in Lower Plenty with some beautiful quilts on show. The group had its AGM and Julie from Banksia Palliative Care attended the meeting to discuss with members the work the organisation does for the northern region of Melbourne.
Morning tea was had by all and even some Ginger Fluff birthday cake, which was generously made by Therese! Thanks Therese!
There were quite a few lovely quilts on show today:
Yumi's spectacular lone star quilt - hand pieced, hand appliqued, and hand quilted no less and 13 years in the making! It was well worth the wait
An apology is in order - the colours have totally blown out in this photo - the pinks are actually quite saturated with orange through them. This is Yumi's completed Mocha quilt (TPG class). To see it in all its glory come to our quilt show on 21-22 March!
Sarah's completed lovely children's applique quilt
Sarah's completed challenge quilt
Sarah's big boy quilt featuring trucks and diggers
The first of a few charity quilts completed by Sue

and the last charity quilt but definitely not the least!
Heather's vibrant Mexican inspired quilt
Therese's quilted birdcage quilt
Therese's practice applique and quilting quilt!!!! (Just quietly, I think she is done practising applique and quilting)
a nearly completed gift by Therese for a special lady to remind her of her garden
a close up of the appliqued butterfly
and a close up of that lovely blue wren
A self imposed challenge for Jen to create one quilt a month for 12 months - this is January's design
and February's design
and even March's design (it isn't even March yet!)
a sample of bridal tulle from Jen which she has seen her hand stitch lace to - it is the basis of the design for her daughter's wedding dress which she will be making this year
Di's amazing Kiwi quilt
Di's completed colourful textures and tucks quilt (TPG class)
Di's striking purple and orange quilt
This is only a taste of what will be on show at our exhibition next March. Definitely save the date :
21 and 22 March 2015
at the
Lower Plenty Senior Citizens Community Centre, 86 Main Street.
It will be spectacular!
Thanks for reading!
