Peta's Framed Mini-Quilt

Our good friend Peta recently turned 70 years old. Peta is a wonderful, joyful character and enjoys creating her own wonderful art-quilts and handmade treasures.....including the most delicious sweets (so good, i've often requested recipes for!).


As a little gift, i made her this framed, mini-quilt using some of my very favourite fabrics (including some Kaffe Fassett and my favourite blues and greens of course!). You might recognise some of them from what i reckon is my all-time favourite quilt, Dreaming of Jacarandas.


I used a gold thread to quilt 1/4 inch from the seams and i love the way the it shines in the sunlight.


Happy 70th birthday Peta! Here's to a great year ahead and plenty more birthdays for us to celebrate together.

  6. I was given a framed micro quilt at Christmas, and I love it. It was a new-to-me-idea. I am sure Peta will adore hers.
