I have just been up to Perth to visit my Aunty who is a fantastic 86 year old. She has led an active life which includes playing championship bowls and is really great for her age. She has always been my favourite aunt. She was my Mum's older sister by seven years and they were very close. Aunty Ivy looked after my sister and I quite often and we loved going to her house where she spoiled us rotten! Aunty Ivy hurt her hip on the bowling green a couple of months ago whilst showing someone some technique of other and hasn't been that well since. So I decided to give her this quilt I made while I was away at a quilt camp a couple of weeks ago. She loved it! I told her she must make sure she uses it and throw it in the washing machine whenever she wants to because I have machine pieced and machine quilted it. I usually hand quilt so the machining was quite an experience for me!
Lovely quilt. Good luck with the blog.
