More of Moggill Piecemakers works

This runner is a "quilt as you go " technique and was made at a Workshop conducted by Jan Phillips at Crows Nest (I think). (I do apologise for the photography)

The two quilts above and below were made by Christine. She has been busy with her UFO's and is having a lot of success. The quilt below is '12 days of Christmas' and the above is a stunning quilt made for her grandchildren.

Bernie's finished Rose of Sharon quilt. This class was tutored by Lynne and was a great learning curve for us all as the blocks were 4" square with some made using foundation piecing.

Another beautiful wall hanging and this time made by Leslie.

This beautiful Christmas hanging was made by Ione.

Moggill Piecemakers - Classes and Show and Tell

The results by some of our new members after the Celtic Class. Congratulations girls.

A beautful Show and Tell quilt made by one of the new members

A Kaffe Fassett Quilt. Personally I love Kaffe's fabrics and hope to have one finished before the end of the year. This quilt came out of 'Quilts in the Sun' book as Kaffe lovers would know. Shirley is one of our newish members and we are very proud of her. Shirley is also a new Committee Member for Piecemakers. Congratulations Shirley.

This sampler quilt was originally a class for members to learn some difficult blocks and because of various circumstances the class was never completed. Ione finished hers and this is the result - a beautiful quilt. It was too large to be able to photgraph completely. This will probably prompt some other members to finish their UFO.

Hexagons - an ongoing project of one of Moggill's members.

Another member brought in this beautiful embroidery for Show and Tell.

At Moggill there are several new members who have joined Piecemakers and are thoroughly enjoying learning new techniques. Crazy Patch was one such class and this is the result - a beautiful cushion.

Youngcare - Sinnamon Park. Brisbane

Youngcare is for young adults who need full time care and a building was designed and built at Sinnamon Park in Brisbane almost 2 years ago. It has 14 apartments and recreation facilities and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. Gay (our Chairman), Bernie and myself (Committee members) arrived at Youngcare on the morning of 24 June Almost all the residents and staff were waiting in the activities area to great us. (The area was all decorated out with balloons, flags etc as it was the day of the Origin football - Maroons verses Blues at Suncorp Stadium. The Maroon supporters outnumbered the Blue supporters). We were given a warm welcome and the quilt was presented to the group. Two or three of the girls were quilters themselves and they were pleased to see some of Gay's quilts she had with her as she was conducting a workshop at Moggill the next day. We were given a tour over the building and were very impressed with what we saw including some of the patio gardens. Virginia was proud to showed us the patchwork quilt on her bed which her Mother had made for her. Her Mother use to be a CWA member out of Moree in New South Wales. We were invited to share lunch - a sausage sizzle - footie fare - which we thoroughly enjoyed. Some had wheelchair bags on their wheelchairs but they were showing wear and we promised to make 14 to be given later in the year.
