More Quilts

Had the last session of our 4 week beginner's quilting course and we've decided to fit in 1 more session next month rather than have a demo and be left on our own to finish the table runners.  I have one more border to add then will start the quilting (by hand as my tiny sewing machine can't cope) at our last meeting.  We plan to finish off the course with a nice lunch at Brighton (Adelaide)

I've done one of the four mitred corners on the narrow green striped border and just the wider dark purple leaf to add next.  The colour scheme goes well with the dining room, iris picture and both sets of crockery.

I have been really encouraged and made some lovely new friends, 2 locals, 2 Kiwis and three others from different parts of the city.  Our tutor has been great and a real inspiration - you may have already seen pictures of her work in previous blogs.  Here's a couple more.
