Nikolas's Quilt October 2022

Loretta's granddaughter had her second child earlier in the year. As usual I chose a scrap quilt pattern using lots of brightly coloured children's novelty fabrics highlighted with white. I also used a scrap binding -0ne of my favourite ways of doing binding.

Above is a close-up of some of the fabrics

The label was embroidered by both Loretta and me

Here's a glimpse of the backing which was a blue sheeting
 

Gracie's Quilt

 This wee baby quilt was made for Gracie in May. Gracie is the great granddaughter of an old friend who died some years ago and I like to keep in contact with her family.

This quilt has a scrappy binding made by stringing the scarpa leftover together.

The back of the quilt was in a stripey fabric. The label below was emroidered by hand as usual with me

Lastly, a close-up of the soft bright pastels used

My Wall Quilt

 May 2022

When I painted my living room blue in the second year of Covid (2021) The wall quilt I had up was in citrus colours and no longer matched my decor. This is the one I chose to do in different blues. Very simple pattern but effective. It's essentially a scrap quilt.

Two Pretty Dollies April 2022

 Gail and I started making these when I visited her in 2021. I took them home and finished them early this year. The aprons are a sandwich tray doiley cut in two. It's always fun making dollies.

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.
