Memory Quilt (by Maria)

This quilt is a bit controversial. I made this one for my brother-in-law from my mother-in-laws clothes. I have also incorporated some of his favourite blanket and some doleys. My mother-in-law was the queen of doleys. Most people have told me they like the idea, however, I have been told by one friend that this is a very morbid idea. I hope my BIL likes it and appreciates the sentiment behind it.

Car quilt (by Maria)


This quilt is a car quilt for our MG. It gets quite cool while driving along sometimes.

Fairy Quillow (by Maria)



This fairy quilt is a quillow and I made it for one of our beautiful granddaughters, Brianna.  

Postcard from Africa (by Maria)

This is a lap quilt called postcard from Africa. The fabric was given to me by my wonderful husband for my birthday so I will keep this quilt.

She brightens life for a lovely cousin.....

...yes, that's what our dear busy Beebee did with this lovely new effort (of course another first one in this pattern....)
She made this quilt for a cousin who has a hard time adjusting to her husband passing away and I'm sure this will come as a blessing to her and every time she snuggles in it, it will feel like a hug from Di.

For a dear 89 years old lady

Elfi made this lap quilt for a friend who's still busy helping others, so here goes a little blessing for her!!!

A WOW quilt made of prize ribbons

Maria made this for her son Chris out of most of his prize ribbons, they didn't all fit into it though....

Floor mat for Chris!!!

Maria has made this very interesting floor mat for her son's bedroom

DiDi had some more in hiding!!!

Here are a couple more children's comforter quilt for charity, one is a fairy 4patch and the other a flower 9patch. Some girl will just love it!!!



A travelling bag!!!

Here is a bag that was made for a friend of DiDi's. It's quite large but she wants to use it for travelling around, to put all her stuff and spare clothes, etc in it. Well who's no to say that we can't start a new fashion for bags to use instead of a suitcase.

That's the back of it

Army boy!!!

Our busy bee DiDi (alias BeeBee...!!!) has finally finished, probably among a few others..., the quilt for her 
9 years old grandson Sam who wanted an army theme.

She's been at it again......

....our busy bee DiDi....(should be called BeeBee....) another one of her first ones...???
No, this time she wants to bless her cousin who's husband has got dementia. She's caring for him but is now herself in the early stages of Parkinson's. Since she's the most caring and good hearted lady, DiDi thought she'd make something nice for her.

Catty business.....

Rita has been very busy again with those lovely cat quilts. The first one was made with scraps and the seconds one with little panels. Some child will find great enjoyment in such a comforter.
