Community quilts

I recently joined the Campbelltown Patchwork and Quilters guild and amongst other activities they also have a community quilt program. These quilts go to community members for various reason, be it illness or for comfort. It took a couple home to quilt, they're only smaller projects and it's always nice to give something back.

Beautiful Rosings

This was a hand appliqué extravaganza. The quilt is called Rosings, after the estate in pride and prejudice, taught by a local teacher Katrina Hadjimiichael. There is a lot of hand stitching in the centre. Sometimes people think that quilts like this need to be custom quilted. I don't think the edge to edge design took too much away from it. The design is called 'Maidenhair'
