You don’t see this very often

It’s unusual not to see tables piled high with finished quilts at our St Mark’s Quilters monthly workshops, but last Saturday we had just one finish, Gillian’s colourful kindy quilt made from a fun space themed panel.

Perdita made this magnificent Double Irish Chain quilt for her daughter and, at our insistence, brought it along for “Show and Tell”.

Finally, two more things you don’t see very often…

St Mark's Quilters May 2013

Someone (Cath) so fanatical about the colour purple that she has matching  iphone and ipad covers, and a thread bin, scarf, spectacles and rolling luggage all colour co-ordinated.
