well don't know if you're ready for another post so soon....
I had a zoom catch up with sewing girls that I usually see every few months but with lock down that hasn't happened for what seems like ages. Others that joined the zoom get together I haven't seen for even longer. I have taken this photo from our facebook group and unfortunately a few had already signed off. We usually meet at Gisborne Patch and Quilt so I put a photo of the shop as my background for the meeting. Just wish I could have done some shopping lol
It felt good to see everyone's faces and have a chat. I hadn't realised how much I had missed my crafty get togethers.
There a quite a few photos so brace yourselves...
I Saw some May Gibbs fabric online and decided I had to have some to make a quilt for the then future baby. I had gifted the new parents two May Gibbs books that I had bought when my boys were babies so the quilt was a perfect addition. I won't finish it off just yet, it will be a gift for her first birthday.
The top is complete though...
these are just a few of my favourite blocks.
I also got Celebrating Mary Brown custom quilted by Leanne Kaufmann who has worked her magic on a few of my quilts. It has turned out beautifully.
It's a little too big to get all of it in one photo and it would take a body builder to hold it up So much beautiful detail in the quilting.
Well hope your weekend is including lots of crafting...
Happy days
Marina
I do love your May Gibbs quilt, perfect way to display the beautiful pictures and of course your new quilt is just stunning...

I used May Gibbs fabric to back and bind an embroidered blanket for my nephew 24 years ago...timeless. Mary Brown is beautiful...the quilting compliments your gorgeous applique perfectly.
