I just love sewing these Quilts……. not just quick……… but doesn’t matter how many you do always a pleasing result …..
Last August (that’s sounds funny being the 1st day already into 2013)
I found a lovely piece of fabric at a curtain shop Kylie found in New Zealand …………well home it came and yes I match material …and so the Quilt is now complete …A little material  left over to make a plastic bag dispenser…for the kitchen ………….
 
I was also Kylie's Secret Santa last year …And her hubby had purchase a Brother machine for her Christmas Gift…so I made a sewing machine cover and Table mat to match…just love the Quilted double side material ……..
