A couple of quilts

This one was made form a Yellow Brick Road patter using the Wuthering Heights range of fabrics.  Well used i winter,   finished in 2010.

"Aria's Pinwheels" - combined 2 UFO's - the pink pinwheels were the start of a pink and white quilt I thought I'd make.  The small applique blocks were done many years ago.  There was a book of Delft block patters & again, I thought it would make a nice quilt.  Those elements have been faithfully waiting in a box & now have joined to make a quilt for a friend's new baby girl.  So happy it all worked.

 

Church Banners

These banners were made over a number of years - This one, "Give Thanks" made from a patter in 2002.  It had an outing a couple of weeks ago for our Thanksgiving service.

"Pentecost" was again made from a patter in 2002 - it's out in the church at the moment for the Sundays after Pentecost.

"Lent - Meditate" was made in 2004 for the season of Lent - must remember to hang it again next year.

"The Way" was also made in  2004 - there is a white donkey in the lower left hand corner - some of my 'friends' tried to tell me it was a kangaroo!!!!  This one is for Palm Sunday.  My own design.

"The Way" is rather a large quilt hanging in the church most of the time. My own design & from my stash as are all the quilts.  Made in 2004.

"He is Risen"  - the archway & bricks started in an Esterita Austin class many years ago.  I added the cross and machine quilted it in 2007.  It hangs at Easter.

 

Flyover before Riverfire 2021

This plane (a C 17, I think) came over our house and then along the Brisbane River to delight the crowds waiting for the fire works.  It was soooooo low!

There were 4 helicopters in all - again heading for the river.

 

Under the Bridge

Love the murals under the rail bridge across the Brisbane River.
