First Show and Tell for 2013

I thought I would start off the "Show and Tell" for the year with some quilts made by Adrian, a very talented artist, who works for Peter at Cairns Craft Centre.  Using the Bulurru fabric range he has stitched this lovely applique quilt featuring Australian wildlife.

 I just love the way he has featured this Japanese panel with the surrounding blocks

and another appliqued quilt made from a favourite pattern by McKenna Ryan.

The Sunday Stitchers met last Sunday for the first time this year and Jenny very proudly showed off her finished "All Points"  which she has now machine quilted.  "All Points" was a mini quilt workshop which I gave at Cairns Craft Center in 2012.

Sonjia had her new runner to share with us which she made up from the Christmas mystery quilt project. 

Meanwhile back in the studio I am slowly working my way through a heap of completed tops to turn them into finished quilts for future class projects.

Till next time
Frances

Lovely display of quilts. i do like the one with the Bulurru fabrics.
Good luck with all the quilt tops. Class deadlines are good motivation

That's a great Aussie quilt, I'm sure it will be a very popular class in your shop.

I have made a couple of Kiwi inspired quilts, I think we all need to show a bit of patriotism, don't you?

What a find Adrian is!! Gorgeous quilts. Lovely to see such stunning work for the new year. Hope you are feeling well, and ready for a big year. Heat has been driving me nuts. Office has no air conditioning, staying away from computer. Take care.
