2015 June Night Meeting

2015 June Night Meeting

Irene Blanck, a longtime member of Essendon Quilters, gave a trunk show highlighting her many quilts, including those featured in her new book ‘Focus on Applique’. As a guest speaker she kept us enthralled with the stories around each quilt and her messages of ‘be passionate about what you do’, and ‘sew every day’.

Biggest Morning Tea

Oh what a yummy lunch was shared by members on our Day Meeting, along with a display of tea cup quilts, and an all things ‘Tea’ trivia quiz. Celebrating Australia’s ‘Biggest Morning Tea’ for Cancer Research, EQI conducted a Block Challenge.

The theme was a provided appliqué pattern with a finished size of 8″.

The quilt is going to an ‘ABBM’ Able Seaman – Boatswains Mate.
