Our meeting on a lovely, warm summer's evening was well attended. Gail, aided by Rita, did a demonstration of how to use Apliquick, which method they have both used for their fine applique work.
Rita brought along her unfinished quilt which features a lot of applique using Appliquick.
Gail brought her beautiful appliqued flowers quilt, which had been our block of the month a few years ago. Both quilts show how the Apliquick method can be used to achieve quite detailed results.
Although not featured in Show and Tell this month, because the quilt had already been gifted, I had to share Sarah's beautifully made and apt quilt for Linda, Food Technology teacher from St Bartholomew's School, who retired this summer. A stunning piece of work.
As usual, we had a good collection of premmie quilts. Sue, our Chair, reported that we have donated 60 quilts so far this year. Members were reminded that the Christmas Challenge for 2024 is to make a premmie quilt using Christmas fabrics. These quilts need to be ready for September or October at the latest so they can be sent to the hospital in good time for Christmas.
Here is a selection of this month's donations.
