I'm entering the Bloggers Quilt Festival this year with one of my favourite quilts I made in 2006. It began with my obsession with redwork stitching while waiting for my kids to finish dancing, netball, footy etc. I kept to a theme of things I loved ie: home, family, friends, chooks, birdhouses, gardens and all things country. The piecing of the quilt is my design. I worked in rows and just added blocks of fabric to make it fit (lots of fudging). Once the quilt was pieced and quilted in the ditch I hand quilted in my redwork thread at dancing, netball, football blah blah I'm sure you get the idea of the time involved in waiting on four kids. Anyway, final result is still one of my favourite quilts that is displayed on a rustic ladder next to my fire place.
Fabrics used are from the Gingham Rose range by 3 Sisters.

Hope you like it also. Kind regards Rob

Hi Anna
