Two quilts finished today!

Jackie and I both finished a quilt today. The solar system panel was given to Jackie by her grandson James, to make a quilt for a boy, and the cat fabric I used was sent by my friend Joan. I had some the same, so I've actually been able to make two similar quilts (the other one will be finished soon) and still have a few cats left over!

Thanks to James and Joan for these

Noah's Ark

Here's another boy one in the centre medallion style, with a cushion panel for the centre. Bright colours made a big difference here!

And a boy quilt!

Jo gave me the "creature in a bottle" blocks for this, so I made the blocks bigger with bright fabrics, and added the sashing and the very appropriate border. Thanks so much Jo, I would never have made these

Some little boy will be thrilled!

Pretty pink and green

A charm pack and border, augmented from our stash, has made this quilt very pretty. Diagonal squares again - it works well!

Pink Stars!

I tried a new pattern for the latest girly quilt. Cecile Whatman of Unique Stitching posted it on her blog, and i thought it would make a great quilt for a girl in the orphanage. I was really pleased to find the beautiful purple fossil fern for the border in my stash!

Quilts have arrived!

Yay! the latest quilts have arrived in Zimbabwe! Only three boxes, not four unfortunately . . . maybe the other will still turn up . . This is the first time this has happened, so its not too bad a record.

Hopefully we will get some photos when they are given out next week!
