These quilts were made by Margaret




After our last 'Sleepover' I got excited after our
kaleidoscope workshop, so I couldn't wait to do another. 
Not particularly happy with the effect -
I broke my own rule - ie - Too many colours!!!!






This one will be raffled in May for another
'A Biggest Morning Tea' event I
support. I make a quilt for this event
each year.


Another Kaleidoscope using scraps.



Windmills - My husband doesn't like this one -
makes his eyes go all silly!!!




This one was made from fabric won in Monto,
donated by Trevor & Ivy of
Van Cooten's Drapery, Howard.




I was trying to put this one
together when we were at the
Monto Sleepover.

Di's Work



These are some back-packs Di made
for her Grandchildren to take their
'snuggle blanket' to Prep.





This is printer cover made by Di using the
Card Trick Block - lucky printer!!

Pene's December 2015 Quilt Selection

These are the result of a rushed effort to get a few quilts finished for Christmas.

Made from backing fabric obtained from Trevor at Howard

Another larger bed-sized backing fabric quilt - same pattern, but put together differently

Made from a jelly-roll: same pattern again, but with black outline strips (going to my daughter Kim on the Gold Coast)

Scrappy quilt (my son in law thinks it looks like a clown's suit) - this one is rather large!

Still a work in progress: another Trevor backing fabric quilt made with a shadow effect

Small sqaure lap-quilt going to my brother Geoff in Monto

Square lap-quilt made from jelly-roll going to my eldest son in Toowoomba (even though he doesn't want one)
A large quilt from the same jelly-roll (for my lovely son in law from the Gold Coast who is always very helpful)

40 Shades of Green: it waited 12 months to get a border, and I gave up in the end and just bound it


Our banner for the Cancer weekend fundraiser, held May each year

Our banner for our Girls' Night In fundraiser, held October each year; small ribbons have a name on each one - for people affected by cancer (each ribbon raises $1)
