Catching up

 

 Boy oh Boy time has got away. What a busy time of the year...
.Before the Christmas rush started I had a quilt to make for my friend Patty. She asked if I would make a denim quilt for her son. Patty had been saving all her old jeans and jackets, so off I went cutting, slicing, lots and lots of unpicking seams and then the designing. After many broken needles I got it all together. I think my arm muscles doubled in size after this quilt.
It was a lot of fun to make.
  The quilt is so heavy. I put a ticking on the back, no wadding and I tied the two layers together with red cotton.
It reminds me of the old wagers we had as kids, once you got in to bed you couldn't move because of the weight of the quilt.

  Patty loves her quilt and she said her son may not get it, looks to good on her bed.
 (this is photo was taken on mums bed not Patty's)

 This little quilt was made for Pauline. A table cover for her sales table..... Yet to be quilted.




November I went back to Emerald with mum for the craft fair. It was great to catch up with all my  family and friends.
 I had the every special day with my wonderful friend Sylvia and got to see more of her stunning quilts. ( sorry the photos are a mess and on there side but I can't seem to move it, need a few more pointers on blogging. Yes I did move them around and edit them on the computer and all was fine but once they go on the blog they seem to go back to how they were,  why I don't know.)

 Sylvia needs to have a Exhibition of her work so every one can enjoy her Beautiful quilts.
Thank you Sylvia, I love your quilts.

  This photo belongs with the bottom hexagon quilt. All the little bits waiting to be stitched in place.

  The quilt Sylvia is working on now. Helen is also working on a quilt the same, can't wait to see them finished..

Better go for now, Happy sewing one and all.

Sorry if I have lots of spelling and grammar mistakes but I don't have any editor's to help me out now days.
