Skite City

We get to see some gorgeous finished articles, especially before they are given away and may leave good old N.Z. permanently. Have a look at these lovelies to get your creative juices flowing. We don't always have the patterns, but will advise what we do know, and as we go along, we'll try and get more details for you.

Here's a couple of finished projects that we got to admire this week.

First is Susan's elephants, made using the fabric I dyed myself. They look great. Must get some more dying done as soon as the weather improves.

 

And this gorgeous african creation is by Mary for her son's 21st, but shush, don't tell him - it's a surprise!! We helped to pick some of the fabrics.

I know this was completed a while ago after one of Jen Magnus's Crazy House Quilt Block classes, but I really think you should all see Margot's "Cats in the Casbah" wall quilt, which she made as a present. Each block has some 3D elements going on and all before Avatar!!! Well done Margot and thank you.

 

Then Ellen showed me a quilt she started some years ago and is now inspired to finish. If we can get enough interest, we'll make a class of it. Lovely glowing bright flowers on black. Classic!!

 

 

And last, but by no means least, a precious little cot quilt using some of my advice and the wonderful Beatrice Potter prints. Please come and remind me of your name as I must confess to forgetfulness.

Ellen sure has something to skite about. She came to the first Scrappity Do Dah class on 9th July and before the second class was held, she'd finished her blocks, sewn them together and quilted and bound her creation called "Joie d'ete" as it was all made from French fabrics, including the backing! No mucking about for this girl!!

Look at these lovely quilts made on our recent Beginners Quilting class. The pattern is a classic which works well with all sorts of fabrics.
