We had two baby quilts on Wednesday. Pams new grandson arrived a week ago and she was finishing off the binding on his. When she started this one she didn’t know whether it would be a boy or girl so she made something bright and cheerful that would suit either.

Margaret is well on the way to finishing this quilt for her grandchild who is due in November.

Sue has used one of Margaret Sampson George’s quilts as inspiration for this one but has interpreted it in this lovely subdued palette.
I seem to have been quite out of touch with the quilting groups for several weeks now. I missed both of the last two friendship nights so I can’t report the goings-on of ‘Just Friends’ for July and August and I’ve also missed most of the Wednesday groups also. However, although I’ve been busy doing other things on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I have managed to finish one quilt that has been in the cupboard for about 8 years and I have pieced a fresh new quilt top.
Ocean Waves 2016
This Ocean Waves quilt was pieced about 8 years ago. It’s the 4th quilt that I’ve made using fabric from men’s shirts. I’ve quilted it very simply using perle thread and straight lines – yes, even the red border was once a shirt.
While visiting Bronwyn’s place in Canberra recently I found her fabrics that she started collecting some time ago to make herself a new quilt. That was before life became as busy as it is now and she has no chance of making a quilt again for many years to come. But I’ve got the time and so I brought the stash home with me and have run up a very quick and simple top.

I hope to baste it this week and begin quilting it straight away so it will be finished in a couple of months.
I hope to be back to quilting this week and I’m looking forward to seeing you all again.
