It's early morning here, and after sending out emails announcing our Guild's upcoming Fynbos Quilt Festival to be held in Hopefield, decided to get back to writing a post, with many photos. It's been a while since the last post!
First up, one finished quite big quilt top. This 365 Challenge Quilt was started the first year it was offered by Kathryn Kerr, and now nine years later, a slightly blurry picture of the top. I was standing on the edge of a coffee table to take the picture, and then fell off! Mostly ego bruised, but glass everywhere from a picture frame on the table behind me! Only after this did I think I could have fetched a step ladder! The 12-inch block at bottom left has over 170 pieces! I love this top!
And, amazingly, another top finished, this time it is the Glenday Quilt. Our Guild President challenged our whole committee to make this one. I tried to keep sort-of similar colours as the original quilt, housed in the Cultural History Museum here in Cape Town. It is a quarter size of the pattern (by Diana Vandeyar), because I didn't want hand applique bigger stars, diamonds and flowers! I hope the minor wobbliness will quilt out.
And sharing an actual finished quilt, but not by me, but made by my daughter T for her friend's new baby. Quilt made in Wales and brought here by my son on his brief but welcome visit last month. This is the proud new Dad!
Other sewing has been bits and pieces: some of Good Hope Quilters' Guild's Mystery 2025 (pattern by Dewald Compion) :
