Last night at about 9pm I said to my husband that I just needed to ‘finish’ another Bushfires quilt to go to the quilters today when truthfully I’d only cut about 1/10th of it out and none was pieced! But anyone who knows me (especially those who I was at Uni with – Moira!!) will know that I work best under pressure and even though it was a pretty late night the quilt is off to the quilters today.
And speaking of quilters, I need to mention how FANTASTIC Gayle Stewart from Balmoral Quilting in Bendigo has been!! She has done about 10 quilts for us now – a couple of them for nothing and the others at a very discounted price. And as always her quilting is beautiful. She has chosen all the designs herself and they all suit the varied quilts so well. To top it off she has fitted us into her busy schedule and her turn around time has been incredible. (And she is doing two more for us this weekend……..OK so maybe I put others under pressure sometimes too!)

Jan!!! Wow- the “night owls” from our uni days would be so proud of you…!! I can’t believe you were able to put together a quilt, virtually from scratch, ready to go off to the quilters, in one night, after 9pm!!! (Imagine if you did that every night… that could be 365 quilts in one year… !!)
(You could be the most prolific quilt maker in the Guinness Book of Records!!)
(…….now don’t go getting any ideas…… )

Dare I even say that would take me weeks. I don’t know how you do it but you ‘do it’ very well.
