Today we tackled the pile of quilts and photographed them, these 10 quilts went off to assist newly arrived refugees cope with our winter weather and of course as a welcome gesture!
This quilt started its life as a doona cover, so it has a sister...what a great marine theme!
This quilt was cut from a narrow roll of fabric that was originally used to make matching kitchen accessories and cafe curtains. We have more then one roll, but this is one of the least offensive patterns, as the colour is not so 1970's!
Simple blue squares, set off with some great machine quilting by Elaine.
We all liked the bird fabric, but took a long time to decide what to do with it! An interesting quilt at least!
A Teddy bear eye spy quilt, all the fabric was from Helen's stash and she generously made us two tops, which Elaine quilted. Helen assures me that it didnt make much of a dent in her collection of teddy fabrics! Helen sits on the table next to Quilts from the Heart and is a member of - you guessed it the teddy ladies!
I love this quilt, there were lots of squares all cut the same size, but someone got down and worked out a colourful placement, which gave it a pattern and I think they did really well!
Another favourite quilt, fairly sure June made this one...she'll be apples!
A great use of half square triangles, this quilt was given to us to donate, a nice blokes lap quilt.
One sock bunny rabbit, made and donated by June.
And finally two lovely warm snugly knitted blankets. These were also given to us to donate, apologies because I cannot remember who that generous person was.
What an awesome effort! Your group is doing a wonderful job.
