Thought I would show you some pics of what our Group were doing on Tuesday.

The hexagon quilt has been totally hand sewn, it huge and it has taken ....wait for it......37 yrs. She has just begun to put the backing on to quilt by hand.

Two or three others to show as well.

It is fabulous and I will tell this lady, she has only just found our Group and decided to bring her work in. I loved it too

Its better up close and personal, pictures don´t do it justice, Liz who made it was about to add borders to it of Fairy Castles.

Elle

Wow, such a talented group! Loved them all!!

Wow! They are all AWESOME.. :D

I'm speechless!! You girls are so talented.

Totally Awesome!!!!

Very nice work! I'm impressed that the woman who was working on the 37 year quilt could make all the new fabrics look so good and blend so well with the older ones. I saw a lot of fabric in there that is very contemporary, yet looked so nice with the older ones.

WOW X 37 also! And the little girl quilt, and the wall hanging, and the red one! Your people are so very talented! :lol: I will be embarrassed to show mine now! :? If I can ever get the posting of pictures worked out! :(
Keep showing us your beautiful work. It will keep me going!

Wow. Your group is awesome. Their work is out of this world. I am inspired

WOW!! Ok, that's what everyone else said!
I just love what your guild puts out!
I'm still wanting to be adopted by Helen. She's the one that does the hand embroidery pictures, right? Love her work!!
But, I love ALL the work you ladies put out. You all are such a talented group!

Funny you should say that, she pointed out pieces from her Mother´s blouse and yes they did all blend in beautifully.

Elle

Terri, that picture you fell in love with is still being sewn, approx 18 months now, you just wait till you see the finished product. Unfortunately she is on holiday at the moment so couldn´t give you a pic.

Elle

Please never think that, never be embarrassed. Individuality is what counts and the love that goes into each piece is so important.

Elle

When she gets back, let her know that I'm waiting for her to finish it and send it to me. Then I'll fly there and she can adopt me. :)

Oh my,you guys are soooo talented. I really think a bunch of us should fly over there and get up close and personal quilting lessons. Oh, and rum drinks on your patio too... :):):)

WOW wonderful group of quilts, such talent. ...and the 37 years in the making gives me hope that I too shall get mine done :lol:

What talent you have in your group. Thanks for sharing. They are simply as it's been said before - WOW!

Izy, all the good stuff has been said before I got here, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you posting such lovely pictures. They are stunning, and I love all of them. Thanks again, Sewbusy

Elle, your group just amazes me! You don't know how much I would LOVE to come play with you all! I think that I'd just sit at each ladies feet and soak up all that fabulous knowledge...and beg for help from each one! Everyone is so creative...lots of different ideas going on...such fun...I'm :mrgreen: of all the fun you guys have!

I am in awe of the 37 yr. quilt...now THAT is one lady who sticks to her plan!

what can I say...i too, was thinking how gorgeous the 37 year old quilt looks. You can't tell that some of the fabrics are that old.
Just love everything. So glad that you posted, AND that you showed closeup pics for details. Wow, oh my, goodness gracious, yeehaw....and God bless us everyone!!! lol :D :D :D

Patti, It would have been chucked out many a time if I had been doing it, I would not have stuck to her wonderful plan, its so gorgeous. Have to admit we have got a lot of wonderful ladies and the really nice thing is that the ones who have been quilting longest are the best at giving us help and advice.

Elle

beautiful quilts... :wink:

I don't know if I would still be working on it either. I have to say that your group is lucky that the ones with so much to share actually do share with everyone. That is really nice. I just love to look at all the work you guys put out!
