Orpington Quilters
Show 'n Tell 2024
Although our April meeting was about the business of the AGM, members still brought in lovely pieces to the Show .n Tell.
Wendy made this beautiful Easter wreath with her granddaughter. It is created by tying stuffed pillows to a central ring - a great way to use up some scraps.
This is the front and reverse of a very useful pouch for holding project work, created by Karen.
Chris showed a couple of brilliant Linus quilts suitable for boys. The left and centre pictures are the front and reverse of one, and the right hand picture is another which finally uses up all the Star Wars fabric that she bought specifically for this purpose.
Here is the front and detail of a gorgeous quilt that Diane made for her new granddaughter, who arrived just a few days ago.
And this is another offering from Diane, a scrappy quilt that she is considering for a future group project.

At February's meeting, the following pieces were displayed......
Wendy showed us this beautiful Christmas wall hanging. Sadly her daughter-in-law passed away a few months ago and her young granddaughter was not looking forward to her first Christmas without her mother. So Wendy decided to create this piece with her granddaughter to help her grieve and hopefully instill some of the Christmas spirit.
Chris always has something delightful to show, all using fabrics from Mags.
Three more incubator quilts (the one on the right is still a work in progress).
....and this girl's quilt.
In addition to the many Linus quilts that the group has provided to the ICU at Kings College Hospital, a particular request has been received for quilts suitable for boys in the 8 - 14 age range, Norma passed on this request to the members and they responded well (as always). Some ladies picked suitable pieces out of their stash and others created quilts in time to donate at the meeting.
Three lovely quilts from Diane.
The incubator bug is catching! This quilt was made by Christine to be donated to Kings along with those above from Chris.
And even our newest recruit, Bryony, stepped up to the plate and created this excellent quilt from animal fabrics she had to hand.
Jennifer showed this quilt that she made at a Regan workshop that Mags and Carol ran.

At our first meeting of the new year, members brought in some wonderful pieces...........
Wendy showed these lovely Christmas decorations, a beautifully embellished Christmas tree and a wreath made of padded scraps from her stash.
Chris had been as busy as ever, producing...........
....two Linus quilts. The one on the right has a central panel that was bought by Norma and then made into a complete quilt by Chris, adding the heart panels.
.....and another incubator quilt.
Here is the front and reverse of a Linus quilt of cats from Chris.
