A quilt in remembrance

I can't believe it's two weeks since my last post, it's been a very sad time 
for New Zealand.
Perhaps you will have seen on your news, wherever you live, the
horror of the massacre of people in their places of worship.
There is a lot I should like to say but this is not the platform to do so.
I will concentrate on quilt related matters.

Here is my latest quilt, just a top at the moment,

Stone Flower Patches


and you may remember  that this was a pattern from Free Spirit website
using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. There is no input in this from myself
apart from the cutting and stitching using the exact same fabrics given
in the pattern.

It was my intention to have this in a small
joint exhibition between myself and my husband, plans changed over the last two
weeks.

I found great solace in slowly working on this piece since the
massacre in Christchurch, 15 minutes each time at the machine
was the only way I could finish 
due to a torn meniscus in my right knee.

Stone Flower Patches is staying with me now.

An exhibition of quilts can take place in the future.

Do you know, I haven't even been reading blog posts,
can't quite believe that myself, I shall be
catching up on reading tomorrow.

More from me in a few days, until then happy stitching
and enjoy the sunrise below taken one morning a week ago,
a 'heart lifter'.


Kia kaha Christchurch
