Singapore Quilters Challenge

This year the theme was 'Strip Tease' - we had to use a jelly roll or other strips no wider than 2.5". There was an amazing variety of quilts on display.

Our group had four entries -

1. Vicki entered this gorgeous wall hanging in red fabrics which showcased her exquisite embroidery. She won Second Prize - congratulations Vicki!

2. Chris made this lovely quilt in turquoises, blues and greens

3. Kate's quilt is called Chain Link from a book 'Link to the 30's' - using bright, modern fabrics

4. Alison's quilt is called Under & Over from the book 'Scrap Basket Sensations' by Kim Brackett

5. The winner of our Raffle Quilt

Raffle quilt 2011

A 'GFC' quilt - we raided our stashes for this one - it has a bit of everything and using a grey solid to keep it together, we made a Disappearing Nine Patch pattern. Beautifully quilted by Wendy @ Honey Pot Quilting, Mandurang Victoria.

Show & Tell August 2009

Wow. We have been busy this month.
First up is the Group Crazy Quilt we have put together, which will be raffled at the upcoming Quilters’ Lunch & Show in Singapore in October.
The top was made with lots of donated fabrics which each of the members made over the past year.  It has been tied, rather than quilted.
Next is a quilt which Dal has for sale to raise funds for her African charity.  The top was donated to her and she had it professionally machine-quilted by Desley (Addicted to Quilts) in Melbourne.

Melinda has made this lovely quilt with bright, modern fabrics.  Not sure what she has planned for this one?

Lorraine has made the gorgeous “Owl Bag”.  How cute is this ??

Lastly, Melinda has made this beautiful Sampler Quilt, which she’s teaching at one of her classes.

The Raffle Quilt Winner!

The raffle quilt winner was drawn at the Quilting Challenge lunch and was won by a very excited Jane. A number of ANZA Quilters members competed enthusiastically for as many tickets as possible to try and win this amazing quilt. As we found out this week that Jane is leaving Singapore for a new posting to South America, it will be a lovely memento of her time here. We are all glad the quilt will go to someone appreciative as well as raising S$3,500 for our chosen charity.
