This is a foundation pieced small quilt I did some time ago. Easy technique, very eye catching in the black and multi colour.
The most exciting quilting thing that happened this week was that my friend Louise bought one of my quilts at a charity auction, and wants me to enlarge it from double to queen size by adding a border . It was very encouraging that someone liked my quilt enough to actually pay MONEY for it.
Also went to the Craft and Sewing Show in Brisbane on the weekend. Most impressive were the "Under the southern Sky" quilts,banner shaped quilts depicting many aspectts of Australia and New Zealand. Another interesting thing at the Show were talks by the woman from the Punch with Judy stand about "upcycling" or re shaping or embellishing plain T shirts and sweatshirts to make new clothing. That is exactly what I am interested in at the moment.
