Visit to Shepshed

 I always look forward to seeing the talented quilters at Quilting Together in Shepshed.  Once a year I go over and collect their beautiful quilts and take donated fabric for them to make more!  It usually goes very well, but this time I was a bit preoccupied and completely omitted to take any boxes!  The ladies were very understanding, and let me have delicious cake and 37 lovely quilts.  


This is a quilt made from tumblers cut by Julie. 


Bright and cheerful is what we like. 


Interesting arrangement of squares. 


Quilts don’t have to be complex to be stunning. This one is stunning. 


Lots of transport on this quilt. 


Wonky stars make a great centre for this quilt. 


A great central panel framed. 


Here is a great collection of orphans who are playing very nicely together. 


This is an unusual quilt for Anne.  She’s a very scrappy quilter normally, but must have been seduced by these gorgeous panels.  A clever use of hexagons for the border. 


The hexagons are offset.  I haven’t worked out how they’re done.  Clever. 


This is a four corner half jelly roll quilt.  Eileen made it, but wasn’t convinced about the method!  Looks great to me. 


A delicate quilt in soft colours. 


Another great boys’ quilt. 
All the quilts were lovely and I’ve made a promise to return with fabric soon.
