Fond Farewell

Swan Bay Quilters Friendship Quilt: 1988 
This wonderful signature quilt was given to me on my departure from Queenscliff and the Swan Bay Quilters.  It has a central applique medallion, a black swan typical of the area and is surrounded by smaller autographed blocks.  The idea was to use fabrics from their current project or stash.  I still love it as it brings back many fond memories of my time in Queenscliff and the friends I made.
