.....................quilts, a show and its your birthday!!!!
Dearest Mom and Dad
Firstly, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mom. xxxxxx
So, yes, I did get Button's quilt done in time. Just basic straight line quilting but it suited the quilt, I think.
I quickly whipped up some fun pillow cases too. Just in time for Vaughn to take them with him.
I washed this quilt the other day - and it just confirmed how beautiful hand quilted quilts are. Granted, this is an old quilt but still, the textures....
Even straight line quilting is lovely.
I was asked to show some crazy quilts at the Quota quilt show in Maleny.
So while Jane was manning the tale I popped outside to practice my photography..........
I do like this one - but I still think that my lens is not suitable.
Thank goodness I saw Helen at the show because she gladly "offered" to help me display the quilts. I did not manage to get any completed work by my students so I filled it up with my work, some antique and vintage quilts that I have bought and unfinished crazy by the lovely ladies from the "Fat quarters" group in Maleny.
I asked Jane if she would join me with some of her fussy cut English paper piecing to add to my work. Unfortunately, I have deleted the photos I took of her work when I emailed them to her. But isn't her work glorious??
My crazy quilt and book on display.
Some of my hand quilting.
My half inch hexie quilt.
My 1950's crazy quilt.
