On the 24th day of Spring...

A memories quilt

Made for Mum and Dad many years ago, it now hangs in her bedroom

Mum's mother ~ we never knew her.  We all have her little round face :)

Mum's father ~ once a school teacher and administrator on Poid Island, they were living there when Mum was born 

Dad and his parents ~ living the simple life on a banana farm in Austinville settlement in the Gold Coast hinterland.  It's long gone.... the families moved out and the rainforests moved back in 

It's a little dusty and the quilting is bad ... but it has a special memory for Mum :)

Seeya soon for some more Spring niceness...

Sometimes - when a planned quilt doesn't go according to plan - it becomes a big pillow

I loved the idea of a big feathered star quilt... but I was over it by the time I'd done one 20" block

Now I love it as a big pillow

My first sampler quilt... made for Blossie when she was about 12 years old.  The maroon and dark green fabrics have glitter sparkling all over them, imagine that!

There are lots of  'oops' moments in this quilt... and I'm remaking it using gentle and shabby country prints ~ but that's a loooong term project
