The quilt is a Golden Leaf quilt pattern from an Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I made it around 2003- It is template pieced and has the triangle sashing to give the look of movement and topsy turvy leaves. The photo was taken in my grandmother's house in the summer of 2003. I added a pieced maple leaf border so that it would make it large enough for our queen sized bed. If I made this pattern again, I would use deeper tones for all the leaves as you lose some of the leaf points in the lighter valued leaves. Today is the kind of day meant for quilting - the wind is blowing and the weather cool- A perfect day to stay inside and quilt. Have a great Sunday - hope that it gives you some time to do the things that you love doing best. Perhaps later on, I will be like my pets and find time to have a Sunday nap!
Cheers,
Anna

My machine is broke and I am lost. I will be picking it up Monday. I do my quilting by hand but I put all my pieces together by machine. I have only made about five quilts so far so I am not experienced as you are. I did quilt with my mom when I was young. She did alot of crazy quilts and what they called the postage stamp quilts. Many of them were done with the quilting club she belonged to. I would help her with the cards and it came time to card the sheeps wool that was used for batting. (yah, she did it the really old fashioned way). I helped her with many knotted quilts too.
A lovely quilt and your new header photo is just great. Hope you got your nap.
Your quilt is wonderful, and it looked like you did so much work on it.
Great job!

Love the new header! I think if I had a quilt that beautiful, I might not let my animals on it LOL!
Hi Anna
Your quilts are beautiful, every one of them
Thankyou for your comments on my blog recently
Fortunately we are not to close to the fires, but close enough for the smoke Can't begin to imagine how bad it was for the people directly effected
Hopefully I will hear from you again
I'am on a big learning curve with this computer

I had my blog set on private and did not know it. So if you tried to answer me, that is way. *s*
I love your new header - they both look so cozy snuggled up on the quilt. I also love your maple leaf quilt - just beautiful as is all your work!
I'm playing "catch up" today...after not having read any blogs at all for about 6 weeks! You didn't let me down...so much beauty and creativity on your posts! I love them all. Everything is perfect! As is dude Kevin at age 2!!! ha ha The log cabin variation is really cool!
Your new header photo is beautiful. I really love your quilt as well, it looks HUGE! It must have taken some time.
Cheers,
Dionne
