My roundup of 2011

I have had a very busy 2011, exhibiting my quilts for the second year (I'm still new to this!). One of my favourites was Springwatch (below), for which I was awarded a Judges' Merit Rosette in Malvern in May.

I'm expecting Springwatch to have another outing in March 2012, being exhibited in Exeter. Do try to get along to see that and I hope to meet you there!


Another favourite was a William Morris design quilt which I started making in Australia, completing it on my return to the UK just before my mother died and having used all the beads she gave me to embellish it. It was exhibited at Birmingham 2010 and noted on her blog by the original designer, Michele Hill, who was at the exhibition at the time.

Thanks for the mention, Michele!


I am also a great fan of Ricky Tims, the American quilter, and last year finished the quilt he designed called Kaleidoscope (below). I hope to exhibit this one some time in 2012.

And for my son's 50th birthday in April, I made this quilt called Musician.

I'm now hard at work on a few other surprises for exhibition next year - watch this space to see what they are!
