My Sister’s Quilt and a Package from Canada

I usually take a break from quilting for customers from Christmas until sometime in January.  This is when I try to do some quilting for myself.  Unfortunately life has been so busy that I haven’t had much time this year.

But I have finally been able to load my sister’s quilt and start quilting it.

I made it in colours that will match her lounge room décor.  As it will be a functional quilt I didn’t want to quilt it too heavily.  I know she likes feathers and the long strips were just perfect for them.

Just before New Year I got a lovely package all the way from Canada from Kathy of Tamarack Shack. I am so spoilt!

All the goodies have been eaten except the Mini Rolos, and the Kraft Dinner.  I enjoyed reading Kathy’s Snow Dyeing article in the magazine she sent, and her hand dyed fabrics are gorgeous.

Kathy has some fantastic tutorials on fabric dyeing on her blog.  She has the tutorial links listed on the left hand side of her page directly under the picture of Quilters Connection magazine.

I have linked to Esther's Blog for her WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays.
