Struisbaai quilt

This is the second quilt, made for one of the maker's two spare bedrooms, as mentioned in my previous post.

The name derives from the other nearby coastal city.

Agulhas or Lighthouse quilt

This quilter recently moved from our city and now lives in a nature reserve between two coastal towns.

Her new house has two spare bedrooms, and she plans to rent them to holiday-goers, with a quilt for each room.

This one is her Lighthouse or Agulhas quilt. Agulhas is one of the nearby coastal towns.

Long strips quilt

It seems I get more quilts from out of town than from local makers. I  don’t mind and enjoy doing them all.

This maker is not only a quilter. She does it all if it can be made using a sewing machine. She makes anything, from Barbie clothing to hot pads or aprons.

This is for a daughter-in-law using only long strips. 

 Kaffe Fasset circles

 This is the first quilt using this fabric I liked. Not using all the same manufacturer's fabric overwhelming and next to each other, but spread over a calm backing, looks much better.

This was a small quilt with linen instead of batting, and I already had my machine cleaned, oiled, and the needle replaced for a booking I got more than a month ago. When this one arrived before the booked quilts, I thought to take my chance and finish it.

Circles in hexagons

Another quilt from far away. Almost 750 km from us. This quilt has a sad story. The maker died before finishing it, and a friend inherited it and finished it. Then it went to my client, who forwarded it to me.

I am not sure who will receive the quilt, but at least the maker's original work didn't go to waste.
