Flannel Baby Quilts made in 2011

Quilt for Jacob McNeil. Jacob is Colin McNeil and Sharon Dungavell/McNeil's baby. Jacob is the first Grand Child for Aitken and Marion Dungavell. They all live in Scotland. We have been fortunate to be at Sharon and Colin's wedding a few years ago.

This Quilt was made with machine embroidery of various baby motifs designed by Missi of Skeldale

House from the US and the connecting cross quilting designs are by Cathy Park in Australia.I backed the quilt and bound it with Polar fleece to make it a bit more cosy for their cold climate.

This Pink quilt was made for my friend and work mate Kathy's grandchild Shilough. Shilough was the much awaited daughter after three beautiful boys for Marie Wakeford.

It is made with three thicknesses of flannel - white on top pink in the middle and white on the back.

The same Skeldesigns were machine embroidered and the seams are sewn with the seam up. - then clipped and brushed - washed a couple of times in the washing machine and dried in the dryer. It is not a pale in real life as it looks here. It is a very fast way to make a baby quilt and it looks great.

I made the blue quilt for Thorval Jensen. Thorval is the first Grandson for my bosses Andrew and Maree Jensen. He is a bonnie boy and the delight of the Jensen family. He lives in Cairns with his Mummy and Daddy and Maree and Andrew minded him in Charters Towers last weekend while his mother and father went to a meeting in Townsville.

It is much the same as Shilough's quilt but has got a cow on it. The Jensens were Dairy farmers and still have some cattle on their farm on the Atherton Tableland. Looking after the cattle makes a good excuse to see Thorville while they are in the north.
