Cutout Magic by Pene


Di's Creations

Di made this pretty pink quilt for her 12 year old cousin. She loves anything to do with horses and pink. Di also added a couple of Betty Boop squares as a personal joke (she pities Di’s addiction!), but has since learned that her “addiction” has rubbed off on her cousin and she now likes Betty Boop as well, so that one worked out quite well. It was her Christmas present for 2009. Hope she likes it!



This was Di’s 1st completed quilt. She also has a couple of others “on the go” and plans for more. The problem is finding the time to do them all!!


This one was for Di’s 14 year old cousin. He enjoys reading science fantasy books, particularly ones about dragons. Di figured black and red were good colours for a boy. The only trouble she had was getting enough dragon material, as it wasn’t the “in” thing when she started this quilt. This was his Christmas present for 2009 and I hope he loves it as much we do!





The quilt with the big R was a 2009 Christmas present for Di’s 9 year old cousin Rebecca (the 3 of them are siblings). She thought of about 8 different designs before she settled on this one. She found it difficult to match patterns with orange – her favourite colour. “It’s not an easy colour to work with and hopefully one I’ll never have to again. I spent the least amount of time on this one as I was running out of days until Christmas!” It’s amazing how fast you can finish a quilt when you have a rapidly approaching deadline!

Di loves the big R and Rebecca thinks it’s awesome! A quilt made just for her.
