Playing this afternoon

Made up this little piece (5 1/2" square) as a practise for a much large piece - just laid down torn strips of fabric, free motion stitched over the pieces then added the grasses and trees.  The large piece won't be anything like this apart from probably same techniques (maybe).  The large piece can't be shown when it's finished as it's being entered into a juried competition.  Really enjoyed this.

Yellow - Challenge colour for September

 Daffodil - thread painted, trapuntoed & added to collaged background. If you can enlarge the image, you'll see the stitching.

Lovely yellow flower postcards - daisy & sunflower - tick, September done!

Qults for the Qult Show

 Really Goosey - finished & entered in to our Qld Quilt Show - October.

 Detail of Really Goosey

Wonky Log Cabins - finished & entered for display in the quilt show.  My scraps don't appear to have been depleted by these 2 scrappy quilts.  I'll keep trying to empty the bins.

August Challenge

 Blue was the colour for August - managed to get these done.  Blue & White China postcard.

 Blue Bird of Happiness - looks a bit dopey, doesn't he? Postcard.

Our exhibition in Warwick

 This is our Broadstrokes group plus friend Annamaria.  The red ribbon was officially cut to open our exhibition - Margaret: Contemplation, Conversations, Creations.  I've been slow in adding stuff this month, this opened at the end of August and closed this weekend.  We had a great time at the opening and were very pleased with our display.
