Prescious Memories Quilt

I have a new post over on the Papermaze Blog today, with the lovely new kit for September.  A combination of geometric patterns and floral papers. For my first two layouts I have used some subtle stencilling on the background Bazzill, linking it to the colours in the papers. Here is my first layout.

The photo I used shows my son on his tricycle showing off the quilt made by the stitching club I belonged to. We made this quilt to raffle for the Stuart Martin Memorial Fund. There were links between our twins' club, and the children's hospice.
