Fundraiser for Africa Mission


The ladies at the Hall helped Elfi to make this queen size quilt for a raffle to raise funds for  Africa to help  a community and an orphanage http://www.kondanani.org/
The money was brought over personally and was greatly appreciated.

A finished "scrappy"

Elfi has finally finished this quilt which had been a UFO for about a year. It's for a friend's little girl in Germany.


Look how our Margarete has been busy again







Sleepover - Oct. 2012


It was a very funny and happy week-end. It has also been a pleasure for everyone who came to learn and see and join together in exchanging all sorts of new ideas.
Howard Drapery was again very busy too.






Finished quilt from Justin



Well, here is the quilt Justin made. Elfi did the finishing touches but he's one proud boy and excited to start a new quilt soon.

How cute is that....

With Christmas really not that far away, Margarete is already getting busy making gifts for her grand-children!!!!








Finally we get to see another beauty of Marj

Marj has made this lap quilt with "leftovers" but she doens't know yet who will be the lucky owner....

A scrappy one....

Elfi hopes this quilt will make a little boy's pleasure! It started as a scrappy quilt then was left abandoned in a cupboard for nearly 3 years, and as little Sebastien is 5 years old now, it was decided it needed a bit more sizing. So borders were added on the left and right and a special  boyish border on top.


Some of Maree's quilts for her great grand-children

As you can see Maree has been quite a busy bee!!!

This was the quilt Elfi has made for the Christmas Swap Project 2011, which never happened as a few didn't get theirs finished on time. This quilt will now go as a present to one of her friends to Switzerland.
