Long time followers will know our cat Simon.
 Sadly we had to have him put to sleep. He got sick & suddenly. 
We will miss his sweet face & crazy antics that kept us amused.

Quilting for Beverley, Judith & Theresa

Hello Quilty Friends!

Welcome back for more quilts made by my customers & quilted by me.
The first one is a panel given to me by Beverley. She saw a panel I had quilted with a simple E2E quilting design in my local quilt shop & asked for the same.
Then Judith's gorgeous Pineapple quilt, 
this was the last quilt top that Judith's beloved sister made before passing.
No doubt the colourful quilt will be held close with special memories.
Theresa asked me to revamp her sons well loved Motocross duvet cover into a quilt to ensure it lasts for many more years. I even have a time lapse video of me working this project.

I think it's time I hopped up on a VeRy tall chair and give a shout out to my little shop!
From time to time I mention a new quilt I've made for my shop.
 Lately I've been pushing (argh - totally out of my comfort zone!) the quilts I make to sell on my Instagram and Facebook.
Then I remembered what a lovely bunch of quilt lovers you all are!
So maybe you can help me?? 
Perhaps some of you would be happy to share my quilt shop to your friends and family?
The more the merrier! I would be so happy if you did.

Here is my latest quilt, it's not a big quilt but it packs some wow factor because
 of the custom quilting.
