I made this years ago, with a severely limited supply of fabric. I think a couple of the fabrics aren't even cotton, and I had to use a lot of plain fabrics, including a white damask for the backing. It's a sawtooth star, hand pieced and quilted, design by Lisa Johnson from Australian Country Craft 2-5.
i just love the sawtooth star pattern ...i have used it heaps in all different sizes and it always looks differnt...i love the muted colours you chose...doesnt matter that it is not all fancy patterns...some times the plain ones make more of a statement...love it just the same
Esmerelda lived with us for a couple of months, then one night she ripped through a window screen, and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.
My cousin found Puss as a kitten, stuck in the wall cavity of her shed at Gunns Plains. She convinced me to keep her. She wasn't an affectionate cat when she came here, but became more so as time went on.
"Thousands - millions and billions - of animals are killed for food. That is very sad. We human beings can live without meat, especially in our modern world. We have a great variety of vegetables and other supplementary food, so we have the capacity and responsibility to save billions of lives." - His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
