I made this memory quilt for a friend who has had a bad year. It's a special quilt so I used some of my most exquisite fabrics - ones that I have saved for many years. My daughter helped me to plan the quilt with items of significance to Kylie's family. Colours important to Kylie were carefully chosen and the quotes came from a Led Zeppelin song important to her. A hummingbird symbolising peace and love was the centrepiece.
Kathy wanted a scrap quilt in blues and yellows - the same pattern I had made for Lynette in reds and golds. Because Kathy lives in Townsville and is unlikely to need the quilt for warmth I omitted the wadding and made a coverlet of two thicknesses of cotton. I sewed the two thicknesses together lightly.
Another cat friend needed a new quilt that matched her new home. Here is Lilly's Quilt:

A friend of mine was getting married in October. She wanted some new cushion covers for her wedding present and sent these photos down after she got them. I did not make the flowery one just the tangerine and the yellow ones. The flowery ones were new and fortuitously matched perfewctly wit the ones I had sent her.
I did the back openings with buttons and buttonholes as I think they make a great decorative alternative to the front of the cushions.
My friend also has a beautiful grey cat called Persephone. Persephone needed a new quilt:
