On Saturday Anne, Louise and Michelle attended a quilting bee in Ashburton with Jan from Sewjourn and some of her quilting group friends. The eight ladies managed to put together most of two tops which will be quilted by a machine quilter in Bendigo and be donated to a women's refuge. The fabrics that we used had been left over from the donations to the quilting bees for quilts for bush fire survivors in 2009. We found it amazing that the seemingly "ordinary" burgundy and green fabrics made up such a lovely quilt with white using this pattern found on the blog Red Pepper Quilts.
The second top was made using some donated blocks in reproduction colours and using up smaller pieces in a pieced border.
Great quilts ladies - I particularly like the Red Pepper Quilts quilt - but then I am biased!
