Group Art Quilt

Our finished group charity quilt was languishing folded up in a bag waiting to be raffled or sold ... so I hung it up in our living room for the time being and it looks fabulous. It is for sale if you know of an office, boardroom or home that would love to have it. It is 85 " (216 cm) wide by 59 " (150 cm) deep and has a full width hanging rod pocket on the back.

Group Gathering

Today we travelled to Lisa's, for our Friday get together of Connected Quilters, on a wet cold day, just right for lots of sewing, talking and eating!

I took a photo of Leita's Hidden Wells quilt which she made the pieced backing for on our weekend at Vickery Quilt and Craft Retreat in September as I had missed getting a shot then. It is next to Lisa's terrific Singer leather sewing machine. She is ever so clever and makes handmade shoes as well as quilts. Leita is hand quilting her quilt with green thread. Doesn't the spotty fabric stand out in the picture? The hidden wells pattern often produces surprises so it is a lot of fun to use.
