Warming up for KQG Quilt Show 2018. We had a very busy meeting for KQG in February. Members were submitting quilts, signing up for Bev Rebelo’s very interesting workshops and also for volunteering for white glove duty. And our most lovely invitations are also ready.
A delightful November meeting. Some beautiful and creative quilts were displayed along with a rare find by Donna. The techniques included hand dyed fabric, hexagons made with gorgeous Kenyan Kanga, appliqué, foil on fabric and incredible hand quilting with African motifs.
An incredible display of colorful and very thoughtfully planned quilts. The dachshund quilt showed love and care for a friend, blast of colours in a nine patch and snowball quilt for a darling daughter, full of love Bargello Heart, ShweShwe dress for a dolly, Gorgeous Giraffes, EPP patterns with African fabric and gorgeous decorated bras to commemorate Cancer Awareness Day. We had it all.

Here are a few pictures of KQG new member ID cards, a fabulous Show and Tell including some beautiful Kenyan fabric and a very informational workshop by Rohini Desai about “Machine Maintenance”.
The Giraffe challenge was an amazing success! We had 20 entries, and they were all so different from each other, it was hard to pick a favorite. Next year’s Quilt Guild calendar will be our best yet!
It was a beautiful Show and Tell like every month, from hand bags to table mats and some quilt tops. Enjoy the beauty of creativity with fabric.
