Quilt 132 - Joan's quilt

 My friend Joan wonderfully kept a lot of her daughter's special dresses from when they were younger.  She asked me if I would make a quilt for her out of the fabrics.  I was so excited, but it took me quite a while to build up the courage to start cutting up these gorgeous outfits!

I love the resulting quilt, Joan loves it even more which is the best thing ever.













Quilt 131 - Jim's Scrappy Mountain Majestics

 I made this quilt for my godson Jim.  The pattern is Scrappy Mountain Majestics, from the fabulous Quiltville site.

A combination of feature and filler fabrics used.  I am really pleased with the overall effect, and Jim loved it which is the best thing ever.

Quilt 130 - Christmas 2020

 I made this quilt a while ago, but have just realised it's not on the blog pics as yet.  I made this for Christmas 2020, based on a series of different patterns I found/purchased online.  If I find links to those patterns I'll edit the post and add them in. I was after a blue-based Christmas quilt, and was really happy how this turned out.  This is a quilt for me, and it's now pulled out each Christmas and used on the bed.

Quilt 129 - Fabric ladder

This quilt was made from fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop in Alstonville.  I always have fun going through the donations from them, and picking up fabrics which (I hope) go together and make an interesting quilt.

This quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids.



Quilt 128 - Isolation Blues

 My quilt group used 'Isolation Blues' as the theme for our quilt retreat in 2021.  The quilt retreat itself didn't go ahead due to covid, but everyone still made their challenge projects and we brought them for show 'n tell the first meeting back that we had in person.

I made this quilt as my challenge piece.  It is from a pattern in 'Supersize 'Em!' by Debby Kratovil, which is based on oversized blocks.

I made this quilt using fabrics from my stash, and the quilt is going to be donated to Quilts4Kids





Quilt 127 - Jewel Box

This quilt was made from another fabulous pattern (Jewel Box Stars, which is a Leader & Ender pattern) from Quiltville.  

Very grateful that Bonnie shares these wonderful resources.

This quilt was made from fabrics donated by St Vinnies Op Shop Alstonville, and the quilt will be donated to Quilts4Kids in Lismore.










Quilt 126 - Grassy Creek
