Tote and Gloat

Annette and I went to Feilding to stay with Liz.

We went to Tote and Gloat which is held annually

by the Rose City Quilters.

I made my Nursery Rhyme block for the Raffle Challenge.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

I talked Annette in to making a block too.

Here are all the blocks.

The blocks were then voted for and

Annette won with her block "Higgledy Piggedly"

Liz told me to bring some quilts down so I did.  I didn't realise

I would be part of the Show.

Here is Liz's and my Fairy "Halberg Challenge" hung together.

Liz set this Halberg Challenge.

This years Hoffman Challenge was on display and here 

a couple of them.

Hobby Sack

The first project of the year from Dream Girls was a 

Hobby Sack.

I finally made it at Easter and it is wonderful for

carrying projects and keeping everything tidy.

The other side.  I bought the kitset which had everything

needed to make this cute bag.

ATC

WQC March theme was selvedges.

This is the one I made.

And this is what I received.

April's theme was Beads

I made this.

And received this.

Latest Projects

It seems like ages since I last had a day sewing. 

This year I decided to go to Dream Girls at Quilters Dream.

This is held once a month over 8 months.  Each month there

is a project and the instructions for a mystery quilt.  

Month 1 we received the fabric list and here is my fabric.

 And the first block. There are 52 blocks here.

The 2nd block

Only 48 of this one. I wonder what the finished quilt

will look like.

This months project  is Kitchen things.  I made a 

Double Ender today.

 The front

And the back.

Halberg Challenge

It is time to reveal the latest Halberg Group Challenge.

We were supplied with a photo of Lars Peter Halberg on cloth

and some pieces of fabric.  

Make a heirloom quilt with some of the photo showing and

using some of the supplied fabric.  Could add other fabrics.

I wanted to show the direct line from Lars Peter Halberg to me.

 so I printed off photos of me, (Claire Halberg),

 my father (Peter Elvery Halberg),

grandfather (Oswald Reuben Halberg) and put those details on too.

Pop is pictured here with Nanna (Violet Elizabeth Emily Pond).

My Father and Mother on their wedding day (Glenda Mawson)

and me and my husband (Stuart Harold Vivash).

Touch of Lace

At WQC we have a group doing 12 x12 Challenge.  We have 2 months

to complete these and the first of them was 

"Touch of Lace"

The photo hasn't come out very well.  I used the left over material

from my wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses

 to make this crazy patch

More WQC Show

There is a lot of work involved in setting up a Quilt Show.

Somehow I am still recovering from it.

 It was great to get 5 entries from the Jenny Hunter workshop.  All were

different and one even had a Christmas theme.

Sorry the photos aren't better but I rushed around in between

working.
