Interesting to me. Also trying to remember which book on Australian quilting it was that my mom brought home from the library before I left for Oz. Maybe this one (mom, can you remember back 10 yrs?).
oh, thanks lovely stories.
ReplyDeleteJeana - this is lovely and starting to get me inspired for some more projects (I've just brought more scraps and pieces from mum and catherine's fabric stash) - I'm loving the random, almost free-form piecing of these quilts ... I guess I have much to learn about quilting ... thanks lovely XX Beth
ReplyDelete~jude - glad you enjoyed them :)
ReplyDelete~Beth - I only wish we could get together more than once a year; would be so much fun to make something together! I have lots to learn too...xo, Jeana
