Quilt 37 - Moody Blues

This quilt was commissioned by my friend Margaret as a present for her dad for Fathers Day 2014.  I have just finished the quilt in time (end of August 2014).  Margaret chose the design from a few I suggested, and we either discussed fabrics or bought them together.  It was a lovely project and I am very pleased to help Margaret create a gift for her dad.

Quilt 36 - Collaborative art piece

My sister Jen made me this beautiful cross stitch as a present.  I hand-made the patchwork border to finish it off, so we refer to it as our 'collaborative art piece'.  It was displayed at the 2014 Airing of the Quilts at Alstonville, and the photo is of Jen and I next to it during the Airing.

Quilt 35 - Mitchell's quilt hangings

Louise from work was having her first baby, and mentioned they were doing a bit of a jungle them in the baby nursery.  I made these wall hangings for the baby, who is a little boy named Mitchell.

Quilt 34 - Isobel's quilt

My sister Jen is little Isobel's mentor.  Jen commissioned this quilt for Isobel's naming ceremony, which was just after Isobel's first birthday. 

Quilt 33 - Bricks and Stepping Stones

This pattern is from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville website.  The fabrics were donated by St Vinnies Alstonville, and this quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids

Quilt 32 - Little Boxes

This 'Little Boxes' pattern was done by our Telequilters group as a workshop.  I used fabrics donated by St Vinnies Alstonville, and this quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.

Quilt 31 - Marcia quilt

My friend Marcia was in my quilt group.  She passed away from cancer in 2012.  Marcia gave me a copy of this quilt pattern, so I've called it my 'Marcia quilt'.  I took the opportunity on this quilt to do some fancier quilting in the white blocks, and was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Quilt 30 - Jen's flower quilt

This is a quilt made for my sister Jen.  It is the 'Liberty Fields' pattern from the Material Obsession book.  Jen and I picked the fabrics - really happy with the tones and the effect of the quilt.

Quilt 29 - Happy scrappy houses

This quilt was made from fabrics donated by St Vinnies Alstonville, and made from a pattern on Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville website.  I really love the colour and the movement.  This quilt was donated to Quilts 4 Kids.

Quilt 28 - Mental Health quilt

My quilt group, Telequilters, was lucky to have a workshop given by Sue Griffiths some time ago.  She has methods for using up small 'string' pieces of scrap fabric.  I made this quilt from that workshop, and gave it to Mental Health unit at Lismore Hospital.
