Sorry about the side on view (still learning), nothing was purchased to make this lovely lady :-

Aren't these stars fabulous, made from the left overs of the Log Cabin scrap quilt!

A warm and wonderful charity quilt :-

Now here is one from the quiet achiever with the capable assistance of her dear husband :-

Good things do come in small parcels!

Friday, 27th March

Some girls had gone off to the craft show but it was still the usual happy and noisy (at times) group. There were delicious scones for morning tea and the recipe provided, thankyou. Most of us were to shy to mention how radiant Kay and Julia looked after using their new beauty product - it is value for money.


Jelena's sampler quilt looks stunning in the monotones.

Martha is a beautiful belle -

Jo's scrap quilt.

Another wonderful scrap quilt - this is Julia's log cabin with the traditional red centre square the use of blues and aquas makes the quilt sparkle.

Jo has made another lovely heart quilt this one is for a friend.

This is Emma with her friend who is wearing her embroidered jacket and a real bird's feather in her cap.

Friday 27th February

A small group made a short visit to Murwillumbah Quilters to see the quilts they are working on for the Victorian Bush Fire victims. Cane Valley had decided to make a cash donation to the Red Cross.

It was a busy day, Lorraine showed us how to make cloth dolls (and provided a delicious cake for morning tea). Some of the girls had brought along their "babies" for show and tell.

Stitching Again

Today my quilting group resumed with much excitement. After all the friendships were renewed we discussed what we could do to help the bushfire victims and it was unanimously agreed that we would make a cash donation and the the recipients decide what they would like. We know that there are many quilts being donated by other groups.

It was such a rainy day but the cooler weather made stitching a pleasure. I am working on my Nice People, Nice Things Blocks which I am really enjoying.
