Wednesday 19th September 2012 - Janet Keenan's Quilting Journey - so far!
Janet is a well known speaker from Liverpool and she entertained us with her stories of how she started quilting and where she is up to now. Her assistant, daughter Emma, probably had aching arms after holding up many quilts for us to see! (Michele is used to it...). Here on the right is a slideshow of some of the quilts which she shared with us.

Wednesday 18th July 2012 - Members' Showcase Evening
Chester Ps and Qs is 30 years old next year and we have been lucky enough to book the Chapter House at Chester Cathedral to celebrate this event. Our exhibition will be held from Tuesday 26th February 2013 until Saturday 2nd March 2013 and will be entitled 'Chester Heritage Quilt Exhibition, celebrating 30 years of Chester Patchworkers and Quilters'. There will soon be a dedicated page about the exhibition on the website - so watch this space! Entry form and Exhibition Rules
Members Showcase has become an enjoyable annual event where members are invited to bring along anything they have made regardless of how many or when it was made! Here is what we enjoyed seeing.

Maureen Hoyle was a member of the group from 1985 until 2003 and she made miniatures. Her husband made the beds for the quilts to be displayed on. Her work was exquisite and correct in every detail of scale and use of fabric and some group members were lucky enough to buy items from her collection after she passed away. Here are pictures of the items brought to the showcase evening. More can be seen at http://www.quiltfest.org.uk/exhibition-2002.html where Maureen was invited to exhibit at Quiltfest in 2002.
Wednesday 20th June 2012 - Lizzie Wall
My Quilts and Other Animals - a talk by Lizzie Wall
We had a wonderful talk by Lizzie who brought many of her quilts and other items to show us. She was happy to pass some of these items around the audience for us to see the details. Her famous chasuble is a feast of activity showing hares and other animals scampering about. |
May 2012- Sewing evening
Sewing evening:
We prepared quilts for Project Linus: tables were set up for cutting, ironing and sewing material which Lyn and other members had brought. Lyn had various simple block patterns which were used as guides. There was a very happy buzz to the evening and many blocks were prepared ready for sewing together at a forthcoming UFO day (9th June) |

April 2012 - Challenge evening
Challenge:
Members were encouraged to make a cushion using inspiration from an artist. Jacky Hooton brought along several examples of work which she had made after looking at various artists. There were also books and postcards for members to look at for inspiration. It is hoped that as many cushions as possible will be entered into the Great Northern Quilt Show at Harrogate in September.
