what devastation across the ditch at the moment huh, first the fires in Western Australia, and now the horrid floods in Queensland. Rowing Man and I have just watched u-tube footage of cars being picked up and swept away as 'tho they were matchbox toys - what is Mother Nature up to??? Our thoughts and prayers are with all those in the flood stricken areas
this is a quilt that I have finished for a very dear friend who sadly is no longer with us, Kate was making this quilt for her grandson, and I had the privilege of finishing it for her, and her family.
this quilt started one Thursday at quilt group, when we all took along our scraps, tipped them into the middle of the floor, and we all started making our own string blocks from the potpourri of fabrics on the floor (my blocks are sitting in my studio waiting to be pieced together..... WISP)
so I see some of my fabrics in here from previous quilts - isn't it great when that happens,
doesn't it look great!! Iam sure Kate would be so happy with it, and I am sure her grandson will treasure it dearly
not bad for a scrap quilt!!
I am still waiting to get here 'tho, I have great book that I am reading very slowly,
and this photo (below) is for you Chooky, just to remind you what you need to come visit...
have a fabulous day people!
