A few more of my quilts

Following the success of my opening foray into the world of blogs, I thought I would post some of my earlier quilts and tell you a few things about them.

The quilt below was completed in 2003 for Charlotte, my first granddaughter. It has little embroidered sewing mice in a patchwork pattern.

The quilt below is an I-spy quilt made for Charlotte when she was four years old. Every patch has a different picture on it to play I-spy with. Can you see the giraffe?

The following two pictures are part of one playmat which was created for my first grandson Isaac. He was mad about animals and wanted to learn all about them, which he subsequently did. The animals were embroidered on to a patched background. This one took a long time to make but is still being used.

  

Some of the smaller wall hangings from 2009 and 2010

This was the result of a book title challenge - I chose Red Square by Martin Cruz Smith.

This quilt above called Poppies was the result of a workshop I had with the American quilter Frieda Anderson when she was at The Festival of Quilts, Birmingham 2010. A delightful lady and a great teacher.

This quilt was made in 2009, from a 'jelly roll' ,  plus the navy background and the red binding. I used embroidery from my machine to embellish the quilting.
