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.
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.

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.
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.
This poor quilt had a hectic road trip. Like so many before it, it was sent from a small town about 160 km away, but it ended up 455 km away and had to be rerouted. This took almost 3 weeks, and the sender, who sent it on behalf of a friend, had a terrible time hoping it wouldn't get lost.
