Quilts for Childrens Day

Today we had a group session working on a drunkards path quilt that Sue G. started and we finished getting the blocks together.

Sonja's Turtle

Sonja has been very creative and made this attractive Turtle

Origami Day

Nina was kind enough to lead us in a little class in Origami Squares.  These can be made into a bag, quilt, and cushion or where ever the imagination leads.  It was a fun day.

First Quilt on Frame

Here is our first quilt on the frame.

This is also Sonja's first quilt. Sonja chose to freemotion her quilt with a wave pattern and quilted the centre panel with varying size lines to represent water. Sonja was very pleased with her first use of the frame and machine and it was a great result for the kids.
