Quilt NSW General Meeting


I travelled down to Burwood RSL yesterday to attend the Quilt NSW general meeting.
Kay Hearland was guest speaker and I did a demonstration on basic foundation piecing.

Kay spoke beautifully. A funny lady, she had us in stitches laughing at times.....her work is amazing.


My demonstration for basic foundation piecing went OK, except that I felt I made it too basic and it went too quick. I was finished in half an hour....
I used this gorgeous little block that will be made into a baby quilt.



Biggest finish this week would have to be Pam M's custom.....


I am happy with how it has turned out.....

Count down to Christmas with the quilting now.......lots of E-2-E's to finish. Then taking a break over January.

Inspired.....


This week was a good one. It does happen occasionally.

Quilting went well. A custom is off that took a LONG time. 90% free hand quilting on this one. I couldn't find a scallop pattern that fitted the space well enough so I went with freehand feathers....happy with the corner solution....




Some E-2-e's finished.....

 
"Interlocking feathers"  from Lorien Quilting.....


"Continuous Baptist Fan" from Lorien Quilting....

The week finished with 'Friday Showcase' at QUILT NSW in Pitt St Sydney. Cathy Jack Coupland was the guest artist....so inspiring....loved her work and her work ethic...


I then took the bus out to Material Obsession for a first ever visit....dont know why I waited so long.....lovely shop and workshop space. I think this country girl was nervous about getting herself lost. I bought fabric..... 

Clarinet lesson today.....best get the house work done so I can go.

Have a great week
