Simon's Garden

This quilt is inspired by my husband's garden. I love the way the roses take over and even try escaping over the back fence. It's hand appliqued and machine free-motion quilted.100% cotton fabrics and batting. Various colours of stranded thread for the applique and various polyester thread for the quilting.

Lord's Prayer

I found this printed panel in my travels and hand embroidered the lettering on and off over some time. The wadding is bamboo, very soft and a dream to quilt. I used DMC stranded embroidery threads for the lettering and polyester thread for the quilting.

Amelia's Teddies

This quilt is from the book Quilts to make for children by Margaret Rolfe. A friend at work asked me for a quilt for a family member who was expecting a girl soon. This quilt came to mind and she loved it. Consequently Amelia's Teddies now have a new home.
