Show and Tell

Earlier this month we had another lovely sit and sew day with 16 of us spending the day sewing and chatting, sharing projects and enjoying a delicious 'Fuddle'! Our show and tell was as spectacular as ever with stunning quilts and works in progress. Janet and Jackie treated us to an explanation and demo of crumb quilting with lots of examples to admire. The photo above is of Janet's finished Trip Around the World started on a previous SASD and made entirely of 2" squares of red, white and blue fabrics.

Here are some of the crumb and scrappy blocks on display:

Davina also brought her Trip Around the World to show:

And here are more fantastic quilts from our show and tell:

Sewing machine cover

Pumpkin Table Runner

Medallion Quilt from a pattern in 'Love Patchwork and Quilting'

Whacky Houses

I'm afraid I didn't get photos of all the quilts so apologies to everyone I missed. You can see more on our Facebook page where Liz is keeping us updated with news, photos and events. If you have photos to share you could add them to our Flickr page.

Our next SASD will be on January 18th, 2014 at Deepdale Community Centre Bosoton Spa. I'll be posting more details in the New Year. So until then

Merry Christmas!
