Batik Jewels: April 2022

 This quilt top was donated to the Mascot Senior Citizens Club. The two borders and the backing were added by Jenny Wills of the Mascot Quilters Group. Jenny also quilted the cover. The quilt was raffled and I'm told, very much admired.

A Series of Cat Quilts: No 1 Scazz's Quilt, No 2 Saffy's Quilt No 3 The Kitten Quilt with Hermione modelling

 Scazz hasn't got his quilt yet so there is no picture of him on it. He is a black and white tuxedo cat and I made him a quilt years ago when he was a young kitty. Now he's the grand old man and that quilt is very worn so he has a new one.

Memory Quilt for Kylie Dec 2021

 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.

The family's names were incorporated in a series of hearts symbolising family love.

Kathy's Quilt Jan 2021

 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.

Cushion Covers for Sarah October 2021

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:
