A Quilt for Mack

The only other quilt I've finished this year is a cot quilt for my cousin's new grandson.  Running a bit late with this - he was born in October.

I wanted to make Mack a zig-zag quilt to tone in with his brother's quilt I made three years ago so I added blue and made the zig-zags horizontal rather than vertical as in Chase's quilt.

The backing is a fantastic Red Tractor wideback from HobbySew.  I love the colours and designs.

February was a big month for birthdays in our family:  T turned 10, H turned 6 and sweet little Daisy had her first birthday.

One of my dearest friends, Wendy, is a jeweller.  She made this bracelet for me to give to Daisy for her birthday present.

On 7 March, my friend and I attended the International Women's Day event in Wollongong - Rosie Batty was the speaker.  She was so phenomenal - spoke from her heart with no notes, no slides and had us laughing and crying with her.
