Second Doiley Quilt 2018

I have a lot of my mother's doilys and don't want to get rid of them for sentimental reasons. Few people use these delightful little pieces of lace any more. My mother had a big collection some of which she made herself, others she bought or were given to her. I handsewed each of the doilys to a square of unbleached calico, put a couple of borders around each block and made them into a quilt top. Hopefully my grandsons will appreciate having a little something that belonged to their great grandmother. I have taken photos of some of the individual blocks and also taken one of the quilt.

Bronnie's Quilt 2008

Just found this one and only photo of my cousin Bronwyn's quilt. Bronnie contacted me on Ancestry and identified herself as my second cousin. We met up on the Gold Coast where she used to live. Later I made the quilt for her.

This quilt was made very quickly in a weekend and so had to be a simple pattern. She wanted blues and the pattern is post and rail.

Another Scrap Quilt top made July 2017

I made this quilt top last year when Natima came up for the weekend. Nat always has a quick project for us to do together. I haven't finished this yet but it will be a nice gift for someone in the future.
