Ngaire Brook's quilts


Well not her quilts, but her designs.
Carol made both quilts through Grandmothers Garden  , the first, "Verma's Garden" was a stitchery that Carol did this year. The second quilt, "Summer Maze", was Carol's first appliqué project.
Having met Carol only once at a Lynette Anderson's workshop earlier in the year, I feel very honoured & trusted that Carol gave me freedom to choose how to quilt "Summer Maze". As for "Verma's Garden", Carol wanted stitch in the ditch & a simple design on the strip blocks & the odd butterfly through the border.

"Summer Maze"
Normally I crop my photo's before loading, but for some reason this one wants to stay as it is! So sorry about the washing on the line.
Carol's appliqué is lovely & isn't this a lovely design?


I love some of the small details, such as these snails........................
And caterpillars!
What about the spider!!

Do you see the dragonflies?..............please click on any of the photo's.



Oh .....& the bee's!

I don't think there is one thing I don't like about this quilt.
Thank you Carol!

    You do such beautiful quilting work. I love this sweet quilt and the detail the quilter put into the work. I a couple of posts back you show how you quilted a hexie flower and it is so unusual and perfect for the pattern. Now if I can just remember what you did when I get ready to quilt mine! Thank you for all the inspiration.

    Wow, these quilts are gorgeous!!! What a great job Carol did making the applique quilt. And it is her first applique quilt, unbelievable. And as always you did a great job quilting them, Carol must be very content.
    I just saw your Sea Angels quilt, also, I love it, and the drawer your son made is so nice, he can make them to sell, indeed. If I lived in NZ, I sure would buy one.

    Have a nice day, Cisca
