Karen’s
Quilt: 1988 (Started: 1987)
This is the original applique sampler from an
early class with Sue Longmore in needle turn applique. I had taken an advanced applique class at the
Neighbourhood House in 1987 and learned how to applique:
This quilt was hand appliqued, hand pieced and
hand quilted. Colours I chose to work in
were primarily greens and apricots. At this time fabric range was limited,
although we had a few shops open up on the Bellarine Peninsular/Geelong area to
service a growing and active group of quilters. I gave this quilt to Karen as a
house warming gift.
