On the 10th of September I drove down to the historic old town of Maldon with my friend Jenny to visit the local patchwork shop. I had recently finished hand quilting my Millefiori Mystery Quilt and as it was freshly washed and pressed, I decided to take it along with us for some photos.

As we left Maldon and drove back to Bendigo, I spotted this quaint old truck at a property called "Gumtree Hollow". I slammed on the breaks and we jumped out to take some more photos:

Quilt details:
Millefiori Mystery Quilt. Pattern & fabric range by Sarah Fielke. The pattern was released as a block of the week exclusive to Spotlight stores Australia. I made the top late last year. The back of the quilt has been made using a Drunkards Path template with left over Millefiori fabric. I made the back earlier this year and hand quilted it with Perle 8 thread during winter 2015.
Love it! So glad you turned to big stitch quilting for it and I loved your journey for the photos. I too have just realised an old railway station to take my quilts to for posing photos, keep a lookout! 😊💖
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Wendy. Being a Sarah Fielke design & fabric range I *HAD* to hand quilt this one! ;)
