A PATCHWORK HEALING QUILT

Di is a mad keen patchworker and she has produced some lovely hand made patchwork articles. We decided it would be a great idea if we all played a part in a patchwork quilt. Di quizzed Ros on her favourite colours, and within a few days she produced a parcel of a variety of gorgeous fabrics. Apricots, Mauves and Blues. We all had to learn how to patchwork, so were given materials and patterns to work on. I'm working on mine in Sydney whilt Ros and Di are working on theirs at quilting days in Croydon. I never knew patchwork could take so long to do one square. I am slow in comprehending how to read a pattern. So I went extra slow so as not to make a mistake. "I'll just whip up these 9 squares today", I thought. But the reality was that it took me about 3 whole days to do. And you had to be in a patchwork mindset. Well, over the months the Quilt has grown. Ros and Di have put it together but it is not quite finished yet.Just a few finishing touches. Now we are starting on a Birthday quilt for Mum. She got the material for her birthday from Di. Pretty pinks and lilacs. Photos will be posted when quilts are finished :)
