Two Caswell Quilts


Hello! And welcome back, it's been a while since my last blog post, I've still been around posting snippets on Instagram and Facebook. Also I had a short holiday to pop over to Brisbane to visit with 3 of my children and all of my grandchildren, which of course was wonderful! But I did miss quilting, the short break reinforced  I really do LOVE my Jobby!
I have been itching for weeks to share the following two quilts, although they have been finished for many weeks Kathryn & Helen wanted to drive up from Auckland to collect them both and sometimes the days don't match up. Both quilts are very similar with only a few subtle differences, the background fabric is the most obvious difference between the two. Kathryn and Helen liked my quilting design ideas and both wanted the same, but I'm sure you will spot a few small differences in the quilting.
So without further a do................................
