| Christopher has just returned from Afghanistan and his mom, Connie, has made this quilt for him! It will certainly be a warm nice welcome home, at least warm for next winter! |
 |
| A soft blue minky border! |
 |
| Stars and Loops was the quilting pattern used. |
 |
| The soft minky backing that also has small stars in the fabric! |
 |
| Lynn took a class on sewing curved pieces at the International Quilt Study Center and then had all these blocks so she put this little quilt together and it's so cute! Nicely done! |
 |
| She added a turquoise border and a brown border here and there. |

| Remember the story of the Aussies and the Kiwi's coming to our house? Thank you Kay and Bruce! This is what they left for us! Plus Joanne sent me the digitized quilting pattern called Gum Nuts and Leaves by Joanne Knott of the Quilter's Quilter. How wonderful is this?? |
 |
| The brilliant border fabric! |
 |
| These four embroidered flowers are placed in each corner! |
 |
| Embroidered A for Australia with the emu and kangaroo! |
 |

 |
| Another hand pieced quilt by Meredith! This is a large quilt and expertly done! She has each center of the bow tie raised and just attached at the inner corners so they are raised. I custom quilted to allow for the corners to keep free. Excellent quilt! |

 |
| The centers just stand up! |
 |
| Custom quilted. |
