Here’s another of Mum’s recent finishes. This was made as a gift for a friend of my brother’s – who has just had her first grandchild. Almost became a catastrophe when Mum took the top with her to go shopping for a backing. She had it folded up inside one of those canvas shopping baskets [...]

Mum has been a busy girl lately, so there’ll be a couple of posts over the next week of completed quilts. This quilt was made from FQs swapped in two Birthday Fat Quarter swaps organised by QDU a couple of years ago. One swap was for floral fabrics and the other for butterflies, and Mum [...]
