Waterlily Quilt

It took me a few years to design the waterlily blocks then make this quilt for Surrey. Unfortunately we can't leave it on the bed or the cat will leave fur and dust in the patch where he sleeps at my feet each night.

Alex loves quilts. We watch the quilting show 'Simply Quilts' on TV every week when I babysit. His interest lasts about 1 minute.

Changing mat

This random block mat makes a great changing mat for our grandchildren.

Oscar


Oscar, our cat, is very beautiful and cuddly except when he attacks me. He loves to help with patchwork, so much so that I usually put him outside when I am working.

Activities for Quilting Groups

We are trying to find activities and challenges for our members to work on between our meetings and then work on together at our meetings. We are not even sure of the search words to use to find any such challenges on the web. If you have any ideas please add them to the comments area in this post.
