Gillian's Quilt

Recently the Sunday Stitchers were visited by Jenny's relative from New Zealand and she brought along this lovely quilt to share with us which won a ribbon in her stitching Guild's challenge.
Gillian's Challenge Quilt
This is the fabric selected for the challenge which needed to be included in the quilt and I think you will agree that Gillian was very creative in how she incorporated this lovely print.
 
Gillian came bearing gifts and gave each member of the Sunday Stitchers a lovely ring pin cushion and for me a special pin cushion with a New Zealand theme.  A great addition to my pin cushion collection which will be treasured.
 
 
Thank you for all the lovely comments and good wishes for my recovery and I hope to be back at the sewing machine very soon.
 
Till next time
Frances

Glad to hear you are recovering well. Love Gillian's use of the rose fabric. Takes a good eye for that.

Couldn't be a better fabric to make a work of pure art. Quilters are amazing people.

Hallo Frances! I am sorry, but somehow I missed your last post, so I am reading only now about your operation (?). Whatever it was, I hope it went well and you are recovering well :-) It is good to see you in the blogland again!
