Quilt Addicts Annonymous

I found this rather interesting blog recently. You might enjoy it so please feel free to take a look:

Quilt Addicts Anonymous

There are quite a few tutorials here which I think will be useful to many of us, especially our newer members. 

It led me on to :

 Quiltscapes  which is another blog  with loads of tutorials, patterns and projects.

One project that caught my eye was the portable design board which every quilter should have.

Here is the link:

FLOWER POWER PROJECT PHOTOS

Earlier this year, Glenda Kirkiridis of Amafu Fabrics

http://www.amafu.co.za/ instigated a Block Swop amongst the Tollgate members.
It started off with  9 quilters  and then Glenda added another 9 quilters in a second group - and then a third group was formed with another 9 quilters.

These are some of the quilts that came from the Flower Power Project run at Tollgate Quilters Guild.

 This wall hanging was made by Janet Subban. It was hand stitched in blanket stitch and then machine quilted by Amafu Studio.

This quilt was made by Nazeema Noor Mahomed

This quilt was made by Sally Pollard

This is a different take on the block that was originally designed. Made and quilted by Mandy Kirk.














Watch this space for more Flower Power Project quilts as they are finished.
We had fun making them, we hope you enjoy seeing these photos.
