I've been prancing around my home announcing my new status. And my family has been spluttering and guffawing. But it's true. The latest publication from Australian Quilters Companion "Quilts from Precut Fabrics" has a quilt designed and made by me and machine quilted by Adri on its front cover!
It is made from a jelly roll of the "Botany" range by Lauren and Jessi Jung and almost 3 metres of "A Day in the Country" background fabric.
It is called "Coco's Midnight Garden" after our dog who was ill at the time. She is now happily lying on the couch sniggering along with the rest of my family.
Have a look at the magazine. It's full of great designs from precuts. I'll post an actual picture of my quilt later because from these photos I don't think you can see what a fabulous quilting design Adri has sewn into it.
