March 26th 2018

Our third meeting for the year was a busy one with the AGM and introduction of the new committee members and our new President Sue Hoy.
Show and Tell began with Orrawin displaying an intricately pieced 'Pineapple Quilt' made from very small strips of fabric......her comment was, "it's not that difficult, you should try it!" A second offering from Orrawin was another quilt suitable for a man called 'Everything but the kitchen sink' in which she had incorporated a varied collection of fabrics and orphan blocks from the freebie table. Both quilts had pieced backings.




Lyn showed a fun children's quilt created from freebie blocks. She had ingeniously added a 'noughts and crosses' game to the back.

The Quirky Quilters from Caboolture provided a generous donation with a number of colourful pieced quilts.





Judie had fun perfecting her quilting skills by finishing a number of bright and modern quilts donated by Jan from Chinchilla....



and three more traditional strip quilts.




Anne and Glorianne have been busy creating some very cute applique quilts for children. Anne's quilts included a Japanese themed quilt using a pattern collected from the freebie table, and a bright 'Rockets and Aliens' quilt with a pieced backing made from wedge shapes. Glorianne showed a colourful quilt made with the quilt-as-you-go technique called 'Hound Dog'. It came complete with a friend in the form of a soft toy 'hound'.






Barbara showed a reversible aeroplane themed quilt suitable for a boy. She has pieced a number of jungle prints to create a bright, fun backing.



Dorothy has been extremely busy creating  a number of pieced children's quilts using both blocks and braid from the freebie table.





In her final quilt Dorothy used the pages from a cloth book called 'Can You Find?' She added borders that looked like headlights to create a fun vehicle themed quilt suitable for a boy.


Cynthia concluded the Show and Tell by displaying a very funky 'touchy-feely' cushion made and donated by Linda.

 We look forward to more wonderful contributions at our next meeting on Monday 30th April. Don't forget to add the Strippy Action Day on 16th April to your diaries!
