Under the Kitchen Sink

Completed ~ only slightly over due ~ Christmas gift to Leigh. I must confess that I didn't select any of the fabric with the exception of the back as it was a Kit that was on sale at Amitié sometime last year.

The happy recipient!

Even Miss Pangie was pleased ~ or that she was watching the Magpies feast on the Pork roast leftovers in the back yard... I do love the Feathered Magpies...

My First quilt

As a gift rather than the one that I first made, pics and a yarn about that are yet to come – have to say now that I am making them myself, what a wonderful thing it is to have someone spend so time effort and in this case LOVE – Thanks MUM. I am sure she knew that I would treasure this as I do, thanks were said and it is a real treasure today.

The dark blue at the bottom of the photo is the back of 'Hectic Eclectic' ...

I was living in Brisbane at the time, and after my mother saw the bed that I had she decided on the log cabin quilt that I should have, Mum really had a great colour eye and could see the big picture - I have several others and will take photos for here at another time. I think it sparked my interest at the time and remember thinking then that I would like to do this, then thought well how girlie..

Bronwyn – you are so right, I don't think that this is girlie at all. I like it – and the process produces wonderful results that I and others who receive the gifts.

It was not long after I found the exit to the closet that was my world - remembering too quietly burn it after I found the exit ( ok ok - there was nothing quiet about the burning). Life events and career kind of took over and I put the quilting interest to the back of my mind. - think doof doof boom boom...



The log cabin quilt is now about 15 - 16 (don't really want to count the years) and starting to be a little worn in places, so I am using it less and less.
