This lovely quilt top was made by my sweet friends while I was in hospital after a not-so-typical hysterectomy. The only criteria was that the block had to have some blue, as that is my favourite colour. I was presented the quilt top and it took me ages to get it quilted because I just couldn’t make up my mind on the patterns! 😀 Sometimes you just need to let the quilt speak to you in its own time.

    So sweet to see this here, my dear Elita, on your most beautiful new website! I wish I could just rock up and sign up for all those fabulous offers of classes that you have put together absolutely beautifully. Well done! Your student are going to have such a wonderful time learning from all your sewing skills and gifted teaching ability. I am counting the days until we can meet up again this side of the water with a cup of tea and lots of biscuits in the French Alps during the next Peaks! xxx Juliet
