A special Heirloom.............

Twenty years ago Jenny made this quilt as part of a class, she felt it was time to get this beauty finished!
The background fabric, sashing and backing fabric is cream calico, the batting is wool all save from 20 years ago. I'll let you enjoy the photo's..................

I love the texture the quilting has added to this quilt. I wonder what binding Jenny will use?
For more photo's please check out my Flickr page , or you can pop over there from the link on the top left hand corner of my blog.

Now I'm off to work on some secret projects for the The Country Yard 's new years launch, which is on the 18th February. I can show you more after that date.

this is a blog of quilting not cats!





Is this a happy face or what! This  is a Laurel Burch fabric. Ngaire's granddaughter has made a fabulous job of this quilt.


Out came the Madeira polyneons for this quilt, a flower border,cross hatching, loopy-la-la's & orange peel, click on the photo's for more detail if you fancy.









Also finished the mystery stitchery for The Country Yard . Many ladies were part of this nine month mystery stitchery and are already lining up to what is in store for this years mystery!


Once again my nice selection of Madeira's polyneons came in handy with a simple wandering leafy vine. The puffy poly batting gives this quilt nice texture.
