Butterfly Quilt

I have been working on a quilt to be raffled for DEBRA, (Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association), a not for profit volunteer based organisation that does not receive any direct Government funding.
I have stitched butterflies similar to their logo flitting over the quilt with some flowers similar in design to the butterflies.

 The quilt has turned out quite pretty and feminine, I think a little too much to appeal to a lot of people, so now I have decided to donate another quilt to the raffle, something with wider appeal.

There is a lovely potted plant as second prize. You will find these in the waiting room at St Vincent's Hospital Toowoomba. Tickets $2.00 each.
Contact me if you would like to buy a ticket!
Meanwhile, the pretty butterfly quilt will be put await for a baby quilt.

Hand appliqued, pieced and quilted by Wendy Whellum. 

This week in Sydney Wendy won two awards for her stunning quilt: 

Best Handmade quilt  

3rd in Traditional professional class

It's taken 5 years for Wendy to complete this gorgeous quilt, not that she's slow... she reproduces or designs and makes many beautiful quilts every year. She uses the 'Backbasting ' method for all her applique and travels around Australia sharing her skills. 

 Congratulations Wendy! The awards are well deserved!

Check out Wendy's blog: Legend and Lace to read about this quilt.

I forgot how much fun these little blocks were to create. I only have 12 left to do. Not sure if I have time to finish the blocks and quilt the quilt before the quilt show in September... thats the plan for now!
