Quiltitis members all live in Queensland, and the events of the last 3 weeks will be remembered for years to come. Thankfully none of us were seriously affected by the floods. I was stranded in a regional town in SE queensland on 2 occasions but this was only inconvienient. I was wonderfully looked after by Shelle and her family. The pictures of devastation in towns across the state are heartbreaking, hopefully this auction will help raise some funds for the disaster appeal and give comfort to others at the same time.
I will be adding a quilt to the auction, my "Owls of Comfort" which I quilted last year and finally finished over christmas.
It is a bright and cuddly quilt that would make a small throw for a single bed, a play mat for the floor or simply used to snuggle under on a cool night on the sofa.
It is 47" (120cm) square. It is flannel cotton, with a dark grey tone on tone flannel cotton backing. The wadding is 100% cotton. It is fully machine washable. It has been very simply quilted by stitching in the ditch.
