Also by Irene, "Going Overboard with Androsia" is made using some of the hand-printed and hand-dyed fabrics from Androsia Batiks on the Island of Andros. The fabric company is known for designs inspired by nature, sea and plant life of the Bahamas. You can see some of the batiked designs in the detail photo below- turtle, shells, fish- done in clear, bright colors.
This quilt which combines piecing and applique is a fund-raiser made by the group members. |
One feature of the show which everyone enjoyed was the guild boutique. The group offered grab bags, totes, purses, knitted items, notecards, and notions. The striking Churn Dash quilt hung on the wall behind the boutique. More photos of this wonderful quilt show coming soon. What a treat it was to see and appreciate the work of The Stepping Stone Quilters! Everyone agreed that we need to visit here again.

I am glad to know you are back safe and sound from your fun quilting cruise...We here are tired and down trodden but glad you are refreshed....
All kidding aside, you know I am just jealous, these quilts are amazing....I'm sure you were like a kid in a candy store with all those beautiful quilts to admire....
Looking forward to seeing more...
Such a great journey, and in such wonderful company of friends. BEautiful quilts! Andros? As in Greek Andros? Have many fond memories of that place. You will have the travel bug now and want to be off again soon. Can't wait to see the rest of the photographs. xoDonna
