Out and about

Last Thursday I went to the Epping Quilters for a one-day workshop. They meet in a wonderful space in the Epping Community Centre - huge room, great lighting - lucky girls they are.
There were eight different projects happening on the day and I had a really busy day crossing from one side of the room to the other - incidental exercise I think they call it. Anyway it was all good and here a just a few pics from the day.

This was from the scrap basket and came together really well and with great excitement from a newbie to foundation piecing.
Several students were doing NYB blocks and some were doing Birds in Paradise

So excited to finish a basic Mariners compass!

Saturday was my Bathurst class and their NYB quilts are coming together beautifully. Isn't this black-and- white-plus just a stunner!

More muted colours but just as graphic.

What a variety of blocks

Sunday at Hobbysew and Janelle's batik NYB's is getting closer to a finish. Hard for girls who are working full-time to do any homework!

This has been a work-in-progress for quite some time now but Marrianne really got her skates on and this is the result.
I am hosting the unveiling of our group's mini border-go-round tomorrow night so there will be some amazing pics to show from that.
Don't forget that Cottage Quiltworks is having a Quilt Escape with lots of tutors starting next Monday. Love to see you there.
