Jill’s European Adventure


When Jill went on her European vacation she collected T-shirts from as many places as she could with the intention of making a memory quilt.  And here is the result of her travels and quilting endeavor.

The black, white and red borders really set the t-shirts off nicely.   Jill chose the April in Paris pantograph by Benay Derr, just right for this quilt.

We took this picture before quilting, perhaps a little easier to see some of the places she visited.

Excellent work Jill, you should be proud of yourself!

Chloe’s Quilt by Janet



Janet made this lovely little quilt for her granddaughter Chloe.  I love the turquoise and coral colours.

I think the Chantilly Lace pantograph by Norma Sharp is an excellent compliment to this quilt, and set off so nicely with this pinky/coral thread called peppermint.  (Click on the picture to see a close-up).
