Wedding Anniversary Quilt


Jane is another Textile Tuesday Lady. 
She has been working on a Golden Wedding Anniversary Quilt for her parents.
The centre panel is a simulation of her parents wedding certificate,
machine stitched by her friend Lindsay
and then Jane has added the borders and finish. 
What a lovely and unique anniversary gift.
Jane's friend called 'Vintage Lin' also has a website and blog
 exploring vintage fashions and traditions.
It is a wonderful site for the 1940's and 50's.
Nostalgia with style!
Warms your cockles and ladies look like ladies!
You can email her if you would like your certificate stitched
or vintage fashion made.
Please use quilterscottagenorfolk as your referral.
 She then knows where the interest has come from.

Autumn Inspired Banner Quilt

This is the banner quilt is one my Mum and I have been working
on together.
The squares are 2" and made from a variety of textiles.
Mum found the Embroidered centre pieces in a Thrift Shop.
There are two of them and it feels lovely to
give the embroidered chair backs a new lease of life.
They were made in the late 40's by the design and thread used.
