It's Friday.............................



Today is Friday and I can now share two quilts that you have seen sneak peeks of on Facebook.
First is Norma's colourful quilt made for her 19 year old grandson.


Measuring 68" x  68" Sew Soft Polyester batting Madeira AeroQuilt thread and Keryn Emmerson's edge to edge pattern "Feathered Shell". (sorry about the post shadow)
I thought I had better take a photo of the back as it's difficult to make out the quilting pattern on the busy fabrics.


Next is Elizabeth's "Boughs of Holly" a Red Button Company design. Elizabeth tells me there a lots of tiny red button's to stitch on the vine...........I love that she saved sewing those on until after the quilting!


Measuring only 20" square this wee quilt packs a punch! I wished I had taken a photo before I attached the binding. Here is a better photo of the textures.



Elizabeth used wool felt for the holly leaves which add lovely dimensions especially with the "McTavishing" heavy background filler. The leaves of course needed some veins, see the before photo...................................



                                 And for the back.......................................


Today I popped out to the garden to take photo's of two of our hibiscus flowers.


A nice splash of colour when there is little else of colour in the garden, other than green that is!


                                            While wandering who should pounce on me!


Thank you Norma and Elizabeth for sending me your lovely quilts to work on. Happy weekend everyone!
