I recently helped my dear friend, Cath and
her family create this ‘blokey’ quilt for her father-in-law, Graham, who sadly
is terminally ill. Cath chose flannels
from the ‘Woolies by Bonnie Sullivan and Maywood Studio’ range which were just
perfect for this project and combined with the ‘Shaggy’ quilt pattern made a
lovely cosy quilt. We also added in some
white flannel, which not only lifted the quilt but gave the family a place to
stitch a personal message on a couple of the blocks.
The quilt was made over a weekend with the
whole family including Mum, Dad & all five children (ranging from as young
as 4 to 17) contributing to the process.
It was a very special project and I’m pleased
to say it was absolutely loved by Graham when they gave it to him. The younger
children especially delighted in pointing out which bits they’d had a hand in.
Cheers
