Antique Quilts


Double Wedding Ring


Churn Dash

Both quilts
Just one more note regarding my Avalon stay.  Barb, who organises the weekend, and what a wonderful job she does, brought along some quilts that she was hoping to sell.  These quilts would have been purchased by her in USA.  I couldn't help but take photos.  Someone did buy the double wedding ring (I couldn't afford it) and I gave serious thought to the churn dash.  I didn't buy though.  When you look at these photos give a thought to the fact that these quilts are all hand quilted!  The colours are still vibrant, the fabrics, feedsacks, still in very good condition.  I don't know the history of the quilts, however, just looking at them was a treat.  Thanks Barb for bringing them.

Christmas Stockings

Merry Christmas to one and all!!
An update today on the six christmas stockings that I was making for our six grandchildren.  I am happy to report that the stockings are finished!  My weekend at Avalon assisted in the process.  Delveen and Peter at Avalon have put up the most amazing Christmas decorations in their lovely lounge room, so I took advantage of the gorgeous Christmas tree and took a photo of all the stockings.  What do you think?  I think they are pretty cool.
