Sunday Stitchers' October Show and Tell

It's Show & Tell time for the Sunday Stitchers who gather on the first Sunday of each month at Cairns Craft Centre and there was lots of wonderful projects for us all to enjoy.

Lesleigh, who is a good friend to have, has agreed to hand quilt this stunning cross stitched afghan for a good friend and we were all giving our two cents worth on how to go about it.  It will be challenging as the fabric is about an 18 count cotton weave and quite heavy.
Lesleigh was also the happy winner of our lucky door prize - a "Seven Sisters" paper piecing design  pattern kit by Sue Daley.

Jenny loves bright colours and has just finished this lovely table runner top.
and this little doggy quit which is now ready for applique.

Joan has been doing an online landscape quilt class and was stitching down the binding on her first finished landscape project.

Thora has been busy reducing her stash by making happy bright scrappy reversible quilts for her grandchildren and here is the front and back of two of these quilts.

Heather loves her paper piecing and was finishing this "Seven Sisters" block which will be part of her Benni Harper Mysteries quilt - she is making a sampler quilt which will comprise of blocks named after every book in the series.

Till next time
Frances

Lovely assortment from your friends Frances. The animal quilt is just beautiful and hope Lesleigh will manage the quilting [certainly no easy task I'd say]. Love Jenny's work as well. All of the pieces are fantastic, and it's so nice to share in such creativity. It's like going to a quilt show in my PJ's!! Cheers.

Lovely to see some more Show and Tell. Please be sure to let us know how the cross stitched blanket turns out when it is completed. I love the doggy quilt too.
