Our first meeting

We had our first meeting at the Chermside Library Meeting rooms. They were fantastic for hosting a small groups of sewing enthusiasts.

Our first meeting focused on getting to know each other and our interpretations of modern/contemporary quilting and show n tell ( we did spend a little time on planning ).

They are such a lovely and talented bunch of girls.

Catherine and her strip quilt. 

Kate gathered some orange, yellow and turquoise and made
crosses and HST's the night before. Now to plan the layout.

Jessica's improvised star quilt made from blocks from a Bee. Jessica screen printed the rocket. I love
the signature blocks on the back.

Val's groovy bag and placemats. Don't you just love the fabrics. 

Megan's DS Cross Quilt. I love how the dark crosses float against the
paler background crosses.

Megan's beautiful circle quilting.

Catherine's focal print quilt.

As I was cleverly in charge of the camera so I did not get in any of the photos. My show n tell involved the 'Man of Cloth', Desperate Housewife's and Flockwave quilts.

Our group will meet every two months at the library and we will explore together the concepts and techniques of modern quilting. Jessica has volunteered to show us how to modernise the star block so this will be a hands on session.

Until next meeting, make it modern, make it loved, make it 'you'.
