We had our first Castlemaine Applique Group meeting on Saturday ~ another great day with lots of chatting and sewing.
Rosalee Clarke of Jane Austen Quilt fame was our guest speaker and showed us many of her gorgeous quilts~ here are just a few.

Great to see you have a blog so I have popped in to have a look. Two of my besties and I have decided to meet once a month in a park in Brisbane and work solely on our Reproduction Quilts which are of course needleturn applique. We are hoping that we may attract curious onlookers who are keen on hand applique just like we are. Seeing your Castlemaine Applique gathering has prompted me to share the above, so wish us luck in expanding our band of 3. Kind regards :-)
