Christine's Quilts!

Nearly 4 years ago I moved from Brisbane/Queensland to Perth/Western Australia to be with our children and grandchildren! Brisbane is sort-of my hometown and when I returned there in 1994 and found the pleasure of quilting, one of the first girls I met was Christine. We spent many fun times together and formed a great friendship culminating in wonderful times with our cottage group Birds of a Feather.

Christine is a wonderful quilter - if you haven't visited please do - Once Upon a Quilt .... - you will find some interesting reading and see some beautiful quilts. The quilt above won Retaining the Tradition and Viewers' Choice at the recent Queensland Quilt Show ! Isn't it just gorgeous?

Now, this one above has a little story - a group of us were lucky enough to have Kim Mc Clean join us for a workshop where we did (sort of started!) her beautiful Old Brights quilt. The original is a Great Australian Quilt by one Sarah Evans. A little while after I moved over here, I had completed many blocks and what loomed ahead in those busy days seemed overwhelming - so I thought - best thing is to gift them to Christine. Just look what she has done with the blocks I had done and check out the quilt of her own that she is still doing - lots of interesting reading there! Again, I say, so much for dull Reproduction fabrics - not so!

I have put a Followers gadget on my sidebar, so if you do check up on me regularly, please add yourself at 'follow this blog' just above the photos - my Blogland friends are very precious to me and I love to keep in touch with you all!

Off to do a little sewing now - hugs!
