Show and Tell September 2025

 September: Welcome to spring!

With the Exhibition this month, we have had a few quilters feverishly finishing off projects.

This month's show and tell includes a few exhibition items and some that have been made just for fun.

Watch for a separate blog post with all your Exhibition photos!

In the mean time, enjoy Septembers showings.


Sue Medlow with a disappearing 9 patch, not quite finished.


Lovely autumnal tones in this one again by Sue. 

Detail of the quilting by Tricia on Sues quilt.


Another of Sues using up panel pieces and a fair chunk of her purple stash!

Lovely floral quilting to complement the floral print on the front.

Patricia's very personalised quilt for her grandson based on motor sports. The vehicles were all made on her embroidery machine.

A close up of one of the blocks that carries a special memory.


This gorgeous Sashiko panel is by Els who has no idea what she is going to do with it!

Show and Tell August 2025

 The winter months tend to see members hibernate or travel to the warmth, so our August showing is small but as usual, diverse and amazing. Enjoy.



Francine's beautiful Sashiko panel


It is hard to pick up in this photo, but the purple, red and green circles are all done with beads. Very clever.


Trish with her cute gecko quilt. Proof that great looking quilts do not have to be all about symmetry.



Merlyn's vibrant childs quilt



Great use of strips.


Barbs bright robot quilt for her daughter in law. That's a whole lot of 1 inch squares in that border.


Merlyn's star quilt in pinks and purples. There's a lot of points in this.

Barb's heart centre lap quilt. Notice the hearts in the quilting on the borders.


Trish's clam quilt which has been quite a while in the making. No surprise there! Great showcase of fabrics.



This beautiful antique quilt was shown by Kerry early in August. It is hand pieced and hand quilted, with no batting. It was given to a friend of hers having been made by her grandmother. A beautiful traditional piece of quilting history.




Finishing up with a couple of scrappy bags mad by Merlyn.
