Return to Quilting after 25 years

After a break of over 25 years and a move back to Victoria I had always wanted to make quilts again, or so I thought. Its interesting to observe your own creative path and making quilts again was not one of those I chose to perse. However I have made 4 quilts and these were simple triangles all machine pieced and professionally machine quilted. Debs and Jan's quilts were made for very close friends.


In the meantime I have become a grandmother to beautiful little girls. How could I not make them a quilt each? These also were just plain triangles, light and colourful.


I have such a stash of plain coloured fabrics and can't bear to part with them. I look at the contemporary art quilts that are being made world wide today and just cant seem to get my head around being that creative. I guess I may "play" with my fabrics and combine them with my new love of painting.


The creative process is amazing and its just that - creative.

Well its August 2018 and I have managed another quilt. Simple plain triangles as before. This one is for my son and his fiance. Hope you like it.
