At Bay Quilters’ August meeting we had one of our members, Margaret, who will be 98 years young (on her birthday in November) share some of her quilts that she has made over her lifetime.

It was an absolute treat to see these stunning and intricate quilts and Margaret’s beautiful workmanship. It was awe inspiring to see her lifetime’s work. Thank you Margaret for sharing.

The first quilt is Margaret's favourite. But I don't know if I could pick a favourite from all these beauties.

Last month Bay Quilters had an appliqué workshop with Irene Blanck. Sandra has finished her sampler and had plans to extend it. Gorgeous work Sandra! I can't wait to see what you do next.

A few weeks ago, Bay Quilters had an Applique Sampler workshop with Irene Blanck where members that participated were taught her applique technique. I have heard that some members have already finished the workshop’s project so hopefully there will be some show and tell at the July general meeting to look forward to.

Bay Quilters Contemporary group met earlier this month. The theme was Colour Value with the exercise of creating the appearance of a sphere just by using colour value placement. It was a very successful day.

Our guest speaker at the May general meeting was Barbie Mitchel. Her quilts were inspiring and we all enjoyed hearing about her creative journey.

We also had some beautiful quilts displayed around the hall from our members and here are two of them.

Bay Quilters Contemporary Group meets every two months, and this year the focus is on design. In April’s meeting twelve members brought in their blocks based on the drawing game ‘Exquisite Corpse’ that was February’s task. Each member had made three pieces, a head, body and legs/tail.

They were then randomly swapped and these three photos are the result.

The plan is to now put them together into a quilt.

What a fun and creative project and the detail on these blocks are fabulous. Do you have a favourite?

On the 12th of April Bay Quilters donated 120 quilts to the victims of the January/February 2026 fires in the Central Victorian areas of Harcourt, Sutton and Longwood.

Pictured are four committee members presenting the quilts to Fire Chief Andrew of Harcourt Fire Brigade, other members of the fire department, and their families.

These quilts are being distributed to other fire stations in the impacted area for families that have unfortunately lost their homes.

A big thank you to Susanne, our Quilts From The Heart committee member for coordinating this tremendous effort, and for all the members who donated.

Every year Bay Quilters has a Summer Challenge. This year we were given piece of red fabric for inspiration, (and to be included in the block) and instructed to make a ten inch square with the theme of Hope.

These blocks were sewn into a quilt which will be donated to Impact for Women to celebrate their 20th Anniversary, and will hang in the entrance to their facility.

The three individual blocks pictured won the challenge this year. Congratulations Bronwyn S. Mary L. And Tricia D. And a big thank you to the ladies who put the gorgeous quilt together. Great team effort!
