My round robin quilt theme was christmas I started with a gingerbread man in the centre and around it went
Sarah was first to add a border which had to have triangles in it and had to be no less than 3 1/2 wide and no larger than 4 1/2
Then to Denise those border had to include 2 1/2 squares and at least one other measurement and be no wider the 5 1/2. Denise put little christmas trees in the border with some scraps I put in and presents in the corners.
Onto Steph who only had the limitations of something had to be on point


Beryl appliques holly and a variegated zig zag in a cream border.


Then last border was Kerry who had to use at least 6 different fabrics on more then 9 must include 1 1/2 strips and 12 yo yo's and the border to finish at 6 1/2



I am really really happy with the way my quilt has turned out. Could never image what wonder work the girls would come up with. Thanks to the girls It's amazing. I will think of you every christmas when I decorate my home with it. I have got it ready to be sent away to be quilt of the back I am putting baubles with the each girls name on them.
Looking forward to the next challenge

I'm back

After a fabulous weekend at GDTIC. I have been busy creating again. The energy in th ehall over the weekend has recharged me. I am trying to finish off UFP so I can begin work on Annie's patterns. What a beautiful person. I look forward to seeing what she has for us next year.

I went home after the weekend and made Kerry & Vicki the beautiful wool pin cushion

I really enjoyed making them, the wool was wonderful to work with. I brought more to create another beautiful project.
The colours are just gorgous. Thanks Pete.
Look forward to sharing my creations with you
Happy sewing
