A big thankyou to Meg who came to my aid for some wording for our Priest's quilt.
I wrote to Kim and just got an answer this morning (time differences!!!) and she would have done it too. Martine also offered to help me but I wrote back to let her know that Meg was able to do it.
I'm off to Amy's today to help her get the house all neat and tidy for their visitor from England. Steve has had to drive down to Sydney this morning (2 hours plus at this time of the day) to collect his cousin Rachel. She is visiting Australia for the first time and on her own.
Here is the quilt that I've put together. Narelle, one of our parishioners, put all the fabric pieces together, then I quilted the 3 layers and put the binding on and now the quilt label. I can't wait to see Lu's (our Priest) face on Sunday morning. We have our new Priest starting next Wednesday and as I won't be here for the next 4 Sundays as we are overseas, I won't get to meet Greg new Priest). Love Chris
1. Quilt laid out on floor
2. The wording digitised by Meg - thanks, sewed out like a dream.
"When wrapped in this quilt think of those who will miss you love, Belmont North/Redhead Parish, December 2017"
Removing the old tiles was a dusty business, I can write my name on every horizontal object :) - new plaster today, new tiles and necessary plumbing tomorrow and grouting on Monday.
I know what you mean about tile dust - we are having our whole upstairs bathroom removed and renovated in February! Love Chris
But the quilt is fabulous!!!
Hugs, Lidia
This will be a wonderful memory for your priest and he will be wrapped in the love of his community. Wishing you a good day tomorrow when you all meet in church to give him the quilt.
I love everything about it, is a wonderful gift and will be treasured.
