The Last of the Exhibition Quilts

the pieces on the left are a double-up from the top (right)
These pieces all belong to Dianne. Dianne is very crafty, has her own shop, and makes a large number of quilts - she is very fast at sewing! It is thanks to her, that we have this chance of an exhibition. I'm not sure what Dianne's theme is, but I know that she was experimenting with colour, shapes, and progressions.
Enjoy!
P.S. I'm sorry that the lighting is not very good in these photos - using the flash with the little camera was pointless, because of the distance I had to stand to get them in the shot.

Wearing Her Heart on Her Sleeve

My friend Cheryl's pieces are themed as such. She has made her pieces from Op Shop jerseys and cardigans. They are pretty, sad and innovative:
Because they are displayed in 2 rows across the wall, it was difficult, with my little point and shoot camera, to get them in one shot. Hope you can see the work she has done.

Another Selection of Pieces from Exhibition

These pieces are from my friend Barbara. She loves brights, so you will see a beautiful range of flowers from poppies, a bouquet and mountain flowers to round windows. These are all raw edge applique and heavily quilted.

Other Pieces from the Exhibition

As you come into the gallery and walk along the 'aisle', this is the work you see on the end wall. It is Sue's 30 pieces:

It is the perfect place for it because it needs an area big enough to see it from afar. This is from a photo of a barn roof (from inside looking up). I was able to help Sue in printing this out from a single photo. Using Photoshop Elements, I divided the photo into 30 pieces and we then printed it directly onto cotton. Sue treated each piece as a 'quilt', i.e. sandwiching it with batting and a backing and stitching details as needed.
I think it looks fantastic!
