Great November meeting

The November meeting was very busy and very successful. We had the talented Susan Briscoe as a speaker, several interesting demos and the reveal of our challenge fabric competition.  And I missed it!  I was gadding about London with my family celebrating my husbands birthday, but I wished I could have done both! 

Julie and Caroline kindly took some photos of the quilts.  There were 50 kits of two half yards of fabric and a cot wadding taken, and 37 quilts came back.  Susan Briscoe was so impressed with the display that she said it would be worth contacting Grosvenor exhibitions, as she thought they would like a collection like this to display at one of their shows!  I'm sure people would be fascinated to see the variety of responses to the same fabric. 

We had the clever idea of using skirt hangers to display the quilts along the corridor, which worked a treat. 

It allowed people to see the quilts with ease. 

The variety of the quilts was fabulous! 

And the quality of the work was amazing. 

Some of the quilts were hung on the wall bars.  

Here are a few close ups of individual quilts. 

Cute little owls. 

Some crazy patchwork here. 

Flaking leaves. 

And the winner is Jacquie's beautiful quilt.  Well done to all the entrants!
