Two finishes!



It only took me 3 weeks of making ( in between, quilting, cooking & washing! )....but I am rather happy with my wee cushion. This cushion is available as a kit at The Country Yard. A Lynette Anderson Design called "Quilt Shoppe" , I have used Lynette's Hollyhock Cottage fabric range too.
You will see Lynette blogged about my cushion too!
 And the back...............................



 My second finish is the next Helen Brown novel, called "After Cleo, Came Jonah". a great read about mother daughter relationships & a interesting cat! ( this also took quite awhile to finish, longer than 3 weeks!)

"Some say your previous cat chooses their successor. If so, what in heaven's name had Helen Brown's beloved Cleo been thinking when she sent a crazy kitten like Jonah?"
 I loved Helen's first book Cleo

A story about a cat & a customer quilt


I have just finished this most wonderful book.......it was one of those books that will be remembered!
Cleo: " How a small black cat helped heal a family is a warm & often funny book about love, loss & redemption. It's also a book about a cat, a small black feline who helped mend a family's broken hearts by sheer force of her cat personality."

Now for the customer quilt. Elizabeth is fairly new to quilting & a new customer of mine, I wanted to share the simple yet effective quilt she made.
Pattern : "two's company" by Kariepatch designs. For regular followers of my blog you will recognised this quilt pattern, as seen previously here  .
Elizabeth asked me to do a soft all over design in the centre, then something for the border.
