Arts & Craft Show

Arts and crafts groups active in the Park exhibited their works this afternoon. There were painters, wood carvers, stained glass, beaders, knitters, jewellery makers, barn quilt painters (square wooden frames painted with quilt patterns) and, of course, quilters!

Rose Lynn poses with the quilt that she started at home.

The "crazy quilters" make quilts for a local family charity. Apart from the batting, all the fabric and time is donated. We've made 16 (maybe more) this winter.

Using the "Fun & Done" technique* that the quilters use, Rose Lynn applied the multiprint strips that came already cut in a bag of "surprise" fabric from a local thrift store. She joined the finished squares together until the home space was too small to continue and the rest of the quilt was assembled in our meeting room by another sewer.
