More Quilts from Flowerpatch 2023

Here are some more quilts from Flowerpatch Quilters, August 2023, exhibition:

This is a very special quilt, made by Marie, for two reasons. It is her first quilt - and what a difficult pattern to be starting with! Also it is in memory of her Father who served in both the Merchant and Royal Navys. Well done, Marie.

Next we have two quilts by Elizabeth. The first is called "Something Blue"

and the second is "Rainbow Moments" - lots of scraps from 20+ years of quilting.

I complimented Elizabeth on her unusual whipped quilting in circles and she said that it was to hide the marking which she couldn't remove!! Now there's one to remember :)

This is Chris's "The Quilt the Grew" - she just couldn't bear to leave any of the cat panels out and the quilt "grew" to accommodate them all.

Here is Anita H's "Round Robin" quilt. she made the centre square and her friends sewed the borders. I love this soft green.

This is a quilt that we made for the Linus Charity. We started it at one of our Flowerpatch evening meetings by sewing the small circles divided into quarters. Once we had all these and the larger quarter circles I sewed the quilt together. I quilted along the seams by machine and around the circles by hand.

Next is Iris L's "Buds and Blooms" which is based on a design by Angela Attwood

and Margaret's "Hearts and Flowers" made for a grand-daughter and quilted by Sandy Chandler

These two are both made by Ruth. the first is a "Softly Falling Snow" - a pattern by Fi Bowman

and this is the "Alphabet Quilt" which is a pattern by Helen Godden and is painted using inktense pencils.

Finally two from Jo - "Zarafa" the giraffe who I just had to look up on Wikipedia having not heard of him before. It's a wonderful, true tale which you can read about with this link: Zarafa

and a medallion quilt "Regency Blues"

Two lovely quilts both beautifully quilted by Sandy Chandler.

More smaller sewing from the exhibition next time
