Finally gave Mark his Quilt

Mark came home this weekend! It has been great to have him here, and I finally gave him his quilt to take home. Other times he has been home he had no luggage space to take it back to Sydney. (Also last time I hadn’t  finished quilting it either!)

Here he is checking out all the NZ fabrics.

007
I collected heaps of New Zealand themed fabrics to make this quilt, and like any good quilter I have heaps left over.

008
This is the simple label I made for the back, with simple washing instructions! I hardly ever make labels quilts (I know I should). What about you, do you make labels for every quilt, or just ones you are going to give away?

Pam Carr bought is this is a 'Round Robin' quilt from 1996 to share as part of our 25th Anniversary celebrations.

It's a long time since we have done a shared project, maybe it's time to do one again.
