Sharyn's blog

Is this Sharyn's blog? Or the Quilter's Bazaar blog? *grin*

We are pleased to present more show and tell by Sharyn.
This is a quilt she made using a "swag" - that's a roll of fabrics cut at 5.5 in wide.

This simple arrangement showcases the fabrics. Delightful.

And, her is another Fat Quarter quilt by Sharyn - it's a quick baby quilt for a little girl (as if you couldn't tell).

Ooh, we love show and tell. What are you going to make next?

Stef is 21

What a lucky, lucky, young woman... This is only one of Stef's 21st birthday presents.

Made by Sharyn. Yes, this is her THIRD fat quarter quilt, and they all look very different!! These blocks are alternately bordered in black and pink to increase the size of the quilt to fit a Queen bed.

Thanks for sharing with us Sharyn and Stef.

Set to accessorise...

Check out this for sewing accessories!!

This chic ruler and cutting mat bag was made during Sunday morning UFO sessions with Carol.

Just perfect!! And beautifully modelled....

Making this bag, Gayle learnt so much!! Machine quilting, french braids, binding, borders and more...

Thanks for the show and tell... Won't you bring in yours to show???

Liza's quilts

Liza had been working on this sweet birdies quilt for a little while now... She comes along to our Sunday morning UFO sessions (only $15 per session from 10am-12:30pm every Sunday with Carol Lewis.

But wait, here is another finished quilt!!

Liza finished these just in time for the recent Lancefield quilt exhibition.

Thanks for the show and tell Liza.

Advent Calendars

Heather made this Advent Calendar wallhanging using a simple panel.

The panel is even printed with instructions!! Simply make the pockets, stitch them on, and quilt the little wallhanging.

Heather hand-quilted around the pockets and snowman on the gold print.

Click here to purchase your own panel for A$14.50.

A perfect project for Christmas in July.

Daring Dragons

Fiona wanted to make a quilt for her son. Where are all the boy quilt patterns??

Lorraine recommended this pattern set by Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse: Daring Dragons.

The pattern contains a quilt pattern, runner for the end of the bed, and pillow instructions.

Lorraine suggested a runner might be a bit impractical for a boy - how about appliqueing the dragons over the pieced blocks?

And this is the end result.

Even with quilting right through the applique, it looks smashing!! Robbie loves it...

Thanks for sharing your show and tell, we love it!!

Judy's quilting

Judy loves to hand-quilt, but she doesn't like to be in photos. *grin*

This is an enormous Dresden Plate quilt she just finished. It is quite heavy - two people found it difficult to hold up properly for a photo.
Check out the Dresden Plate design quilted on the blank squares.

Update: Judy has been learning free-motion machine quilting in our UFO (UnFinished Objects) sessions.. (see the class list on the side bar for more information). Get out of her way! She is quilting up a STORM!!!
Go Judy!!
