I'm On the Banner - AGAIN!

Firstly, apologies to all those who have seen this quilt before!


And secondly, welcome to any new visitors...it's a pleasure to have you to my 


little piece of Blogland!




But I am excited, because this quilt is on Sew I Quilt @ Stash Manicure banner!


And this is a second time my quilt has been chosen!


I am blessed!




This is a long time favourite of mine, 


possibly because it was my Mum's favourite 


too!




I made this quilt back in 2004...


And it was hand pieced and hand quilted!


With a little view of the Melbourne skyline in the background!

I believe the pattern is still available here


There are many wonderful memories in this quilt!


It would be what I'd grab if the house was burning down!




What would you grab?


Check out the other beautiful mauve quilts on the "Sew I Quilt" banner!
Happy Sewing!

    If the house was burning down, I'd send the kids back in to get all my quilts and my sewing machine!

    Congratulation for being chosen for the June banner. I can't believe this is all hand pieced and quilted....great job! I love your soft colors and the backing fabric.

    Congratulations! Your quilt is gorgeous. Not sure what I would grab..laptop I guess, all my photos of the kids, when they were little, are on it.
