The first quilt I have to share with you today is the quilt Sheryl-Anne made her 17 year old daughter. Stitched with love, made from her daughters swimming ribbons!
Such a different quilt, but ever so special. Sheryl-Anne asked for ditch stitching between each ribbon length then a swirl on the sashings and borders.
Sheryl-Anne had stitched each ribbon on the a calico foundation using a loose zig zag stitch. Her choice of backing was denim and the batting was wool.
Next a quilt made by Raewyn for her 17 year old grandson. Raewyn participated in a Jelly Roll race!
Raewyn asked for an all over quilting design and left it up to me to choose the design. I chose "Gossamer". I used a Signature thread in autumn tones.
I'm sure these two teenagers will enjoy their quilts!
Next is a sneak peek of a Sue Spargo quilt I am working on, and just between us I have fallen in love with it!
Until next time be kind to each other and enjoy each day........................................

Lovely quilts Leeanne. So sorry to hear that your Mother has passed away. It is so hard loosing a Parent even if it is expected. Sending special thoughts and love to you
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your Mum Leeanne xxx Sending you big hugs at this difficult time. Exquisite work as usual!
ReplyDeleteI did wonder about your mother, sorry to hear that she has passed away. What a great use of swimming ribbons, better than being pinned on a wall. I have looked at the Sue Spargo stuff and can see why you love it, look at the glorious colour she uses. Bit of me for sure. Take care of yourself Leeanne xxx.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your Mum.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with those ribbons!
More hugs. Wow that is a lot of swimming ribbons and what a great way to 'display' them. Love the swirls in the border and sashing. Oh that Sue Spargo-colours and quilting amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your Mum Leeanne..the iris is beautiful. Sending you hugs. The ribbon quilt is a wonder idea, like the jelly roll race quilt too. Look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry your Mum has passed, so hard as our Mum and Dad have always been there for us, lost Mum 9years ago and Dad in 18984 and still miss and need them. Wonderful quilts, what a good way to use the swimming ribbons, sure to be cherished. I have a few jelly rolls but not worked up to a jelly roll quilt yet!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read that you have lost your Mum, it is always so hard when we lose a parent, been 14 yrs since my Mum died and 12 for my Dad - always in our thoughts. Love to you and look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered what to do with our girls' ribbons - like the simple layout Sheryl-Anne used. I always think Sue Spargo's designs are lots of fun - all that wool and embellishment, something to try one day! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat ribbon quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs always your quilting is fabulous. So sorry to hear of your Mum. Having lost my parents years ago I understand all the grief. Keep their precious memories alive in your mind and heart. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a memory quilt she created from those ribbons.
ReplyDeleteThe peek at the Sue Spargo quilt leaves me wanting to see more.
I haven't lost a parent yet. I can only imagine how hard that is. Beautiful iris in her memory!
