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.
