Quilters

Spent some time at my quilt group, Goldfields Quilters, today. It's always interesting to see what people are making, and for once I had the camera.



Lorraine's latest quilt is a showstopper. Great graphic design, one of those quilts that you just keep looking at and finding new details.

 

Lorraine and her family had a very sad time last year, and we all got together and made up a collection of blue fabrics for her. This is what she's done with them.

 
This is a queen-size quilt, and she is hand-quilting it. Detail of the centre.

Christine is using her father's ties for a hexagon quilt.

 And Brenda is making great progress with her amazing quilt -

  tiny, tiny hexagons, joined with fine hand stitches.

 
She says it's getting rather heavy, and this back view shows why.

Such talented quilters, and good friends too. We have a great time on meeting days. Wish I could share Eileen's latest joke, but it's a bit rude...
