As Melbourne enters the last 2 weeks (officially) of winter, I thought it about time I emerge from hibernation and write a blog post. The third Saturday of the month has just passed so it was off to Di's for a lovely day of sewing and chat. Everyone was most industrious!
First up is Ann who has started making 'When Stars meet Hexagons' from Petra and An's beautiful book, Promenade in a Dutch Garden.

| A very tempting box of stars, anyone for lucky dip? |
Deb is up to block number 26 of Corliss's stunning Caswell Quilt. You can seem more of Deb's recently completed blocks
here.
 |
| Just beginning..... |
Clare is working on the borders for 19th Century 9 Patch, a very old pattern of Di's
 |
| So sweet..... |
While Barb has started a quilt for her granddaughter, Freya. Can't wait to see all of these circles joined together.
 |
| Lucky Freya! |
Merri is the most prolific of the group, and her show and tell consisted of two works in progress - the beginning of Esther Aliu's new BOM, Love Entwined, and...
 |
| Great fussy cutting! |
...she has finished the centre of Di's pattern, Ann Daggs,
 |
| Ahh, the first swallows of spring! |
Kerry brought out another of her long term projects, The Wickersham Quilt from the State Museum of Pennsylvania.
 |
| Block 2d complete, and 4D underway! |
And me, well now that the top for Mrs Miller is finally completed, I have started a new project. This is block number one (of four) for the Feather with Flowers quilt from Fons & Porters book, Quilts from the Henry Ford. This quilt is for my niece, she wanted something in purple and red, a colour scheme that is a little challenging to say the least. I can assure you that if you were to actually see this block it would not have the 'glow in the dark' look of the photo.

| Spooky.... |
Hope you enjoyed the show and tell,
Until next time,
Meghan
such pretty work - all of it!! I see someone else is in the LE group too - there are close to 4000 members in that yahoo group - I'm not sure though how many of us are making the Love Entwined quilt though
