This quilt was one Wendy made several years ago for Philip. It’s called Star Light Star Bright. We were visiting Phil and he and Amanda had given it to us to have on our bed. I thought it would give us a chance to get a few photos and post them here.
This quilt was one of the block-of-the-month quilts that Wendy made while living in Calgary. I loved the contrast of the bright colours on the black. And when she had it top-stitched she chose a variegated thread with loops and stars that would stand out.
You’ll see that the label is a bit more rugged as she didn’t have her Janome 350E, but she used the font on her sewing machine.
this blog was from 2016 and is included as part of a series I will be bringing forward from when Wendy had her own quilting blog.
y and my uncle Jim (who is 18 months older than me) when Catherine was born. There was no phone at the cottage (nor television, nor if you can believe it did we have central heating/AC or in the early days electricity. In fact we didn’t even have access to the internet. So to get to the phone we had to take the boat across to Morrison’s which was the general store. The phone was on the store wall – it was wooden, had a crank on the side to call the operator and you spoke into the microphone which was attached to the front of the phone.
