A REMINDER FOR MEMBERS
Eastwood Patchwork Quilters invite you …
Save the date for our 2017 exhibition to be held from May 5th to 7th at historic Brush Farm House in Eastwood.
What’s on Tuesday?
The Tuesday members are always busy having lots of fun with their varied stitching. Here’s a taste of what they have been up to of late.
In the picture above you can see Robyn’s stunning applique quilt, Janet’s one block wonder and Louise’s mola patchwork.
Jelly Roll Racing
Recently members enjoyed a Jelly Roll Race. Sewing machines at the ready, all were keen to be finished. 
For almost an hour, barely a sound except the racing machine motors, was heard!
One by one, the competitors finished and laid the quilts on the floor of the hall.
The results looked like a giant jewel coloured carpet and all were very happy with the result. Especially happy was Louise who finished in approx. 45 minutes; we hope that she didn’t eat all her prizes at the one time, a packet of jam (jelly) roll sponge cakes and a bag of jelly babies. 
The resulting quilts were much admired and we all remarked on the speed and variety of the quilts made. It was declared a great success by all and lots of fun was had!
If you want to have your own jelly roll race, or just find out how to make the quilt you just need one jelly roll, a few spare hours and the instructions which you can find on this great YouTube clip
Jelly Roll Race 2 is a bit different, it shows how to add the squares and jelly roll race 3 inserts triangles.
