Farewell
from Queenscliff: 1986
The Fort Queenscliff Quilters put together a signature quilt for Margaret, our resident Canadian and expert teacher, when she left for home. Joc suggested the design to keep it easy and asked us all to embroider (or at least ink) our names and include some pieces of fabric from the quilts we had been making. I’m guessing we quickly tied it, although Joc took responsibility for finishing the quilt on time.
I can’t remember sizes for sure and this is the only photo I have. I can't even see if we put our names on it. Soooooo, it’s all a bit hazy.
Just for the Record:
Quilt Finished Size: 38 x 44”
Block Size: 6”
Cut in: 1986
Pieced & Basted: 1986
Quilted: 1986
Quilt Type: Friendship
Quilt Finished: 1986
Exhibited: Not Exhibited locally
Collection: Gift
Pattern Name: Indian Hatchet
Pattern Source: Ruby McKim
Fabrics Purchased: 1986
Fabric Design: Pieces from student’s work; various small floral prints
Fabric Style: Cotton
Materials Type: Cotton
Wadding Type: Thin Poly Batt
Backing: Cotton
Lessons Learned:
Hand pieced and tied; we used fabric from our projects. Fell for the charms of scrap piecing; still one of my favourite quilting styles twenty something years later.
