Brisbane Scquilters group meeting - 10 March 2012

I was trying to think up some kind of witty and entertaining introduction, but couldn't think of one. Anyway, here are the photos

Carol also made this cute little Box from left over

Julie brought along these two carpenters star blocks 
...and this lovely green and red quilt
...and of course a bag
Karen was working on the "How will we get there?" quilt
...and also had this gorgeous bag in Japanese
fabrics
Margaret had been making tied blankets from polar
fleece, one with dinosaurs
...and one that was doggy themed
She'd also made some lovely mug bags
Here are Robyn and Anne hard at work.
This was a pin cushion in progress by Shaaryn
Until next time...

February 2012







Hi All,




Welcome to a new year of Scquilters meetings in Brisbane. We had our first meeting for the year yesterday and a fantastic time was had by all. Good to see some new faces as well as the regulars.

I've decided to try something different this time and have put the show and tell into a video/slideshow. Fingers crossed this works. Let me know what you think.

November 2011

Last Saturday was our Christmas party... and a good time was had by all. I will let the pictures do most of the talking. I apologise in advance because I am not even going to attempt to put them in any semblance of an order because I don't have the time or patience to mess around with blogger tonight.
