the story of a quilt

 Once upon a time there was a quilter who liked to make quilts.  She made lots and gave them to people near and far.  One sad day her sewing machine died and she didnt know what she would do.  Thankfully for the quilter she had a guardian angel (aka her hubby) who bought her a new machine (see previous post) and because of this she felt inspired to make quilts again.!

She also did a dangerous thing - she went into a quilting fabric store - Honeysuckle Patchwork in Bendigo - and saw lots of lovely fabric that she just had to have.  Mind you she had plenty of fabric at home but the new stuff was well shiny...........and new.

So with much haste she set about making a new quilt!.

She decided on a carpenters star - as she had two very lovely fabrics that were from the Tulla Pink fabric range which looked well together and she sat down at her sewing machines (who is named Sylvia ) and sewed and sewed and she was very happy with the result.

Once all the pieces were together, she assembled three layers - the quilt top the batting (in the middle) and the backing on the bottom, pinned them together and then proceeded to quilt it - and such a fun job on Sylvia the sewing machine.

Once that was done all that was need was to attached the binding around the quilt and hand sew it down - which was perfect for a cool evening in front of the tv.

Once all this was done she proudly took a picture of the quilt to send to her friends to show off her lovely work - and realised she had made a mistake!

Well too late to change it and maybe its not a mistake but a design feature - enjoy xxx
