SATURDAY MEETING

Saturday was our meeting day. It was hosted by Madeleine. Look at the divine eats she made for us. I forgot to take the tinfoil off the savory tart before taking the photo. Thanks Madeleine.

We got started on working on the goody bag projects. As you can see many hands make light work. Lots of laughter was had as Annatjie was sweating and gave a huge sigh when she was finished cutting her material. It is amazing how much gets done in the three hours that we spend together.

Here is our newest member Linda with her beginner’s quilt that she made in Hettie’s beginner’s class. She made it bigger to fit a single bed. Congrats Linda.

Madeleine is also busy with a Stack ‘n Wack project. Just look at the colors she used in the quilt

We had a wonderful time together, and does it motivate you to also make something beautiful. What a group of stars.

SATURDAY MEETING PART 1.

On Saturday we got together for our usual meeting. We started packing some of the items for the goody bags for our festival://oranjequilters.blogspot.com/

There is still sooo much to be done, but with the amazing people in our group things are going well. Everybody is so eager to help and we managed to get 1300 items packed. Well done and thanks so much for the help.

SATURDAY MEETING PART 2

 After packing the items for the goody bags and some yummy eats and coffee, made by Annatjie, we still had time left for some show & tell. Here Tannie Rina is standing by a quilt she is busy hand quilting.What an amazing lady.

This quilt was the quilt of the show. The photo does not do it justice. It is absolutely amazing. Congrats Christa with winning so much prizes. She won prizes for all the quilts she entered.   
 Here is one she entered in the art department. She attended a workshop at the Stellenbosch Festival last year, and it is finished. There is a lot of embroidery on it, witch sadly cannot be seen on the photo.

Ruby has finished the top of her quilt. Now for the quilting part to be done, here she is getting some ideas from fellow quilters. Well done Ruby. Hope to see that quilt at the show next year.
