First finish of 2014! Ta da!
This is my first finished quilt of 2014.
As I have been in New Zealand since the beginning of the year I have done very little sewing. I belong to two Patchwork groups here and I needed some sewing to take to meetings so I had some hand quilting to do.
I made two simple Premature baby quilts and a few days ago I finished the first one.
All the fabrics were in the small stash I keep here. I can't even remember where I got the feature fabric but think it was some fabric scraps someone in the group was clearing out. It is very quirky and I wonder if it is from the 1940s or 1950s. I think it was originally used to make a child's dress and the scraps were odd shapes, like you would have left over from dressmaking.
If anyone has an idea about the age of the fabric please leave me a Comment on this post.
Today I went to my last Patchwork meeting before we go back to the UK and I worked on the second small quilt. Same design, different fabrics. I will donate both to my local hospital in the UK.
I have also been making some Soy Amado blocks for Alison of little island quilting and will blog tomorrow about those.
