"Branching Out" Group Quilt

The group is currently working on a group quilt to enter into the upcoming "Branching Out" IPS exhibitions.

We decided to each make an A4-sized piece which we join up together to create our 1st group quilt. The pieces all had to incorporate a blue/green fabric donated by Paula.

At last Sunday's meeting, three of the group have their piece nearly completed. Even using the challenge fabric, the pieces are all totally different in style and overall colour-choice.

Paula is going to sew up the 5 group pieces to complete our quilt in the next few weeks.

Swap Bag 1

At our March meeting, some of us had pieces made from our "Swap Bag no. 1" Challenge. The bag contained a piece of hand-dyed screen-printed fabric, pink fabric paper and a stick-on magnet.
Not all of the Genesis members got their challenges completed on time, some are still finishing their pieces.

Ann is currently finishing up her piece:

Tracy is currently adding hand-quilting to her piece:

Claire made a fabric cuff, brooch and ATC from the bag contents:

Paula made a pink corset with appliqued fabric circles - forgot to take a photo of this one!
