These 2 small sample quilts were on the wall in the area where Bernina were demonstrating. The 2 ladies there made one each of these. I am a big Laurel Burch fan so had a good close look. The pictures in the block centres are embroidered using I guess a CD with the motifs on the Embroidery Artista machine.( Australian ladies - you might see these over there too )
I just couldn't keep that camera trigger finger still!
Next post will feature small quilts made for an exchange between Auckland, NZ ladies and Victoria, BC, Canada.
Fabulous way to use hexagons - I bet it took forever though!
I'm a big Laurel Burch fan, so much so that I can't bring myself to cut into the FQ's i've got! I just spread them out and look at them, then put them away again! I think I need therapy!
Love the froggy prince one! Also the ocean waves blocks! I'm wondering how we'd go about organizing some kind of exchange between quilters in your group and mine/ Wouldn't that be fun? Though I've no idea how it should or could be organized....
Quilting is a wonderful hobby for me. I love the beautiful fabric and colours - my artistic side comes alive.
I have lived in Te Puna near Tauranga
since 1978. Recently retired after 40 years working on our own small orchard where we grew Kiwifruit and Avocados for export. We have a large garden and grow many fruit, nuts, vegetables and flowers.Our new property runs down to an estuary.. When I was young I was a teacher and particularly liked teaching art. I have also worked in the Kiwifruit Industry in Quality Control and Auditing. I love to create and am currently passionate about patchwork and quilting. I sew by hand and using my Bernina Aurora 440 machine.

Molly maybe we should ask our groups first. Sometimes what seems a really good idea gets put down before it gets a chance ( in my experience ).
what beautiful quilts - especially the hexagons. Thankyou for your trigger finger.
