Quilting for Julie, Linda and a Quilt Gift!

Hello Quilty Friends!

My last post was in August, it's nearly October!

Where the heck have I been & what have I been doing?

I've been quilting, making stuff & I popped away for a week to visit with my motley crew!

The first quilt I'm sharing is not a quilt - 

it's quilted bag batting ready for my customer Julie to take to Symposium 2024 next week for classes.

Then there is Linda's amazing quilt - yes it's a quilt!

Anyway, you are here to look, not read my woffle!

The following quilt is one I made for my dear friend's new granddaughter. The colours were curated from a photo my friend sent me when her daughter first conceived. These are the colours she loves. Of course when I heard she was having a girl I wanted to make another quilt in pink! 

Call me old fashioned! I knitted a couple of items & one of those is pink!

 

 I recently meet up with my family to surprise my grandson for his birthday. Nearly all the family arrived. That & the look on my grandsons face was priceless! We hung out with all the kids, big & small. A visit to an amazing zoo was also a highlight.

Thanks for stopping by!
