Hello Quilty Friends! Welcome back for more quilts made by my customers & quilted by me. The first one is a panel given to me by Beverley. She saw a panel I had quilted with a simple E2E quilting design in my local quilt shop & asked for the same. Then Judith's gorgeous Pineapple quilt,  this was the last quilt top that Judith's beloved sister made before passing. No doubt the colourful quilt will be held close with special memories.
