Alveva Show and Tell

As you can see there was a good selection of quilt styles 

shown at Alveva's this month.

Starting with Ruby and her love of colour and finishing

with Yvonne's meticulously pieced Table Runner.

The speaker for the night was Christine Davey.

Coven Quilters

Monday evening after teaching C&G I went to Coven Quilters. Kate showed us the two quilts she had made for her Grandsons and the backs were as good as the fronts! We always admire the depth of hand work and design Kate puts into her quilts. Joan has finished lots of UFO's and the third photo from the top shows her finished Sampler which we think she started about six years ago! Greta to see it finished and it looked great. Even though The Sampler quilt is a staple in the Quilting world everyone of them are different!
Jane showed her collection of baby quilts she had made and it was her birthday so of course we had birthday cake!
We always have such a wonderful evening and laugh and share throughout the evening. Best wishes for Barbara and Mike. 

Alveva Quilters Meeting

On Wednesday the 15th of February Alveva Quilters had their first

evening meeting for 2012. We have held Coffee Mornings

and Work Days during the day since December

because of the Winter Weather.

These meetings have been really lovely for members to get together

and share making and skills.

The evening was based on all the news, 'Show and Tell' from members

and the topic,

"What or What Inspires You?".

Everyone joined in and there was a real variety of ideas

and items.

My favourites were the quilts and an art book,

Carol shared with us written by

John Clare and Carry Akroyd.

It is all based on landscapes and animals.

I was so inspired I ordered it from Amazon.
