After a super evening at our recent Flowerpatch Quilters meeting showing the quilts etc. that will be in our coming exhibition, we look forward to the beginning of August with much excitement and anticipation.
Our exhibition will be at Cowslip Workshops again this year and runs from Tuesday 1st August to Saturday 5th August, 10am to 4pm each day. We're raising money for Children's Hospice South West - such a worthwhile charity "making the most of short precious lives". This is the charity quilt that we have made to raffle:
It has been quilted by Sandy Chandler of 'The Quilting Company'.
The colour of our quilt is very relevant as Flowerpatch have been going as a group for 40 years. This year's Ruby exhibition is a celebration of our many years of quilting and friendship.
Ruby Quilt comprises 3 main blocks:
block1 is made from 2" squares and 2" half square triangles
block2 is made from 3"squares and 3" half square triangles with a nine-patch in the middle using 2" squares
block3 is made from 3"sqares and 3" half square triangles. It is turned through 90 degrees for some of the blocks
Around the edge are rectangular blocks which are halves of blocks 1&3.
Here is a reminder of our exhibition dates, etc.
Hope to see you there
