January Sit 'n Sew

This was our fist get-together after the Christmas break. We all met at Donna's place, that is, Kathryn, Alleyne, Jean and Donna were present. Christine was swanning around on a cruise - lucky lady! and Mary was doing something with the nieces.
Kathryn was hand quilting her American quilt, definitely a labour of love, and I was still sorting out my magazines. One day, I'll definitely get my quilting mojo back...

 Luckily, Alleyne and Jean brought along some show & tell for us go 'ooh' and 'aah' about.
Jean had been working on this wonderful batik Judy Niemeyer quilt, all foundation pieced. Beautiful colours!

Jean was also working on a Ricky Timms Rhapsody quilt. Again, Jean uses gorgeous batik fabrics to craft this intricate style of quilt. I think it'll be amazing when it's finished!

 Alleyne had a few Bali Pops to use up, so she made a couple of strippy quilts.
This green diamond one reminded me of Ireland. The photo doesn't quite do it justice, the greens just pop!




Alleyne also made this 1600 quilt. The earthy tones and the sky blue go really well together. She was thinking of doing a darker binding perhaps.

As always, we enjoyed our afternoon stitching over champagne, nibblies and coffees.
