Getting to know each other, sharing our
color sense and varying skills,Wednesday Night Bee decided a benefit
quilt would be a great first project. We had fun. We learned a lot.
We hope our quilt ends up with someone who enjoys it as much as we
enjoyed making it.

Inspired by the floral fabric & wanting to combine spots and stripes, I collected fabrics in Australia for two years before designing this quilt. Pieced in Melbourne, and hand quilted in Boston during 2007 winter, it kept my lap warm until the snow melted! A truly international quilt!

This benefit quilt turned out quite vibrant. I wanted to show it before it goes to its new home. A few squares look a lot like last September's block, others are inspired by Sandi Cummings, a few are odds and ends. Midway through quilting I got a new sewing machine; look for the decorative stitches.
