Quilting for Debbie, Sue & Wendy

Hello Quilty Friends!

Long-time-no-post. I'm here, still working behind the scenes. The year is starting to wind down. I've closed the books for the year, so the next few posts will be the last for 2025.

Apart from quilting for my clever customers I've been knitting, gardening, reading, bike riding & of course the must do house chores, like clean windows! That took me weeks to complete, not because I have a million windows but because it's a job I really DO NOT like! 

I went to the Auckland Quilt Guild quilt show a few weeks ago. I entered two quilts, no prizes for me this time around but I did sell one, so I'm delighted about that.

Now lets take a look at the quilts I've been working on:

Quilting for Pam

Hello Quilty Friends!

And HELLO October, how did this month come around soooo quickly?

Today's post is all about my creative & generous customer Pam. 

You may recall an earlier post about the task Pam has set for herself making quilts for each resident in her mothers rest home? *Here is the post I am referring to*

 A couple of weeks ago Pam sent me seven more quilts for this project. I'm not sure if these seven quilts complete the project or not? I believe the residents are going to be so delighted, wouldn't you?

Thank you SO MUCH Pam for your continued loyal support & repeat offending! 😁

Long may our working relationship bloom. 

I recently finished the Bears & Dears quilt I started at retreat in June.

I'd really love to sell this quilt, but Elizabeth Hartman ( Pattern designer) has a copyright on all of her patterns, even though I purchased the pattern new & purchased all the fabrics. So I'm not sure what to do with it? I absolutely love making quilts & don't want to stop,

but I have SO MANY QUILTS!!

Another pair of socks completed, this time for one of my sisters:

Until next time..............................
