A lovely surprise

I have taught many classes over the years but I never get to see the finished quilts. I always have to say goodbye to the class and ask them to please send me a photo when the quilt is finished.

I have to admit that I never sent a photo to a teacher when I used to do classes; I always thought that the teacher would not be interested in my meagre work. I now realise how wrong I was because it is such a delight to hear from a student and see their finished work.

Two years ago I taught my Crazy about Australia class at the retreat in Berry, NSW. It was a lovely weekend and in the Crazy about Australia class we only got to work on one of the 13 blocks and we were not even close to finishing block one. Crazy patchwork is very addictive but very time consuming. You don't take on a crazy quilt and expect to be finished quickly.

That is why I was so thrilled to get an email from Roslyn who had done the class in Berry and she sent me a photo of her finished quilt.

Crazy about Australia by Roslyn

What an achievement; I think Roslyn has done such a beautiful job and she should be congratulated on finishing her quilt. I am sure it will give her and her family many years of enjoyment.

It is hard to see all the wonderful detail that Roslyn has included but here are a couple of detail photos.

Thank you very much for sending me the photos, Roslyn and letting me share them on my blog.
Congratulations again, you have made me very proud.

Bye for now,
Linda
