Breakaways 6

This is Steph's cross stitched tea cosy

Breakaways 5

Blogger seems hell bent on putting photos wherever it fancies, hence this string of posts, otherwise we get one person's quilts in the middle of a run of someone else's.  Will have to find out if there is a fix......

However, below is Wilma's latest

Sheila is making this for her sister, and has devised a motif to hand quilt.  She is quilting from the back so she can see what she is doing

Ted

is a bear - mine, to be exact.  She was rather old and very worn; my mother patched and stitched where she could, and that was a very long time ago, as she has been dead for over 30 years. Ted has sat forlornly on my bedside locker when she has not been attending to my children or their children who I think proved the last straw. I think Mum would approve of Ted's transformation.  If you are on Facebook you may be able to see the state Ted was in and the photos Sam took as she remade my not-so-furry friend.  Sam makes gorgeous bears of all types and they are for sale.  She is also Hannah's mum and Hannah is my youngest's love.  Just keeping it all in the family LOL.  And yes, this is quilt related as Ted now sits on our bed and looks after the log cabin quilt when we are not around....
