My Mother in Law
My Mother in Law Violet taught me to do patchwork & quilting 12 years ago when we stayed there for 3 months.
I have been a sewer all my life, I have made my own & my children's clothes for years, I always wanted to try patchwork and Violet set me on the way.
Violet is almost 90yrs old and still quilts every day, she hand quilts all her work, where as I machine quilt. This is her latest quilt.
I love the pinwheel design.

This is a quilt I made for my Brother, he is very ill and I thought a nice quilt to wrap around when he feels sick will do the trick, I searched for ages to get a pattern I thought was manly enough. I have to say I loved making this, It was from a free pattern from Blank quilting its called Belle Fleur.
I wish I had a better photo, but I made this last winter and there was never a nice enough day to photo it outside. So you can't see the beautiful colours of the fabrics.

floating alphabet cot quilt.
I was given a parcel of baby fabric from my Mother in Law Violet, she is 88 yrs old and still an avid quilter.
In the parcel was a vintage series of hand appliqued alphabet letters, all hand sewn beautifully with embroidery silks. I was stuck what to do with them, but wanted to use as they were so well made.
So I played around with them, after I had separated the blocks and squared them up, they came out as 4inch blocks.
And this is the final result, I think it makes a stunning contemporary cot quilt or floor mat. The 2nd picture is the back of the quilt.
