Last week our little friendship group (The Mad COWS) sent off 7 quilts with our wonderful quilter Natalie from: thequiltingbug. A very speedy 7 days later she drove accross Melbourne to deliver them to my door!! (what amazing service). We had our own mini quilt show as we oohd and ahhhd over each other’s quilts and with service like this and our backlog of quilts shrinking, its hard to find a good reason not to do all our quilts this way! Anyway here’s our mini quilt show for your enjoyment.

Those are amazing. Thank you for giving us a mini quilt show. I particularly liked the stack and slash quilt. Do you have a picture of the full quilt?
Thanks Heather, yes I will add one on.
LOVE THEM! Oh how I would love our craft group to be able to do something like that! Sim
Unfortunately Sim we can’t really do it without using sewing machines – all hand sewing. Mind you the baby quilts worked out quite well, with people doing the hand applique and then the machinists putting them together at home. Thanks for visiting
Great results for you all to celebrate.
Seven quilts in seven days??! Amazing! I might need to get to know Natalie. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks – yes you can follow the link for her website!
WOW!! These are fab!! I wish I was talented in the art of patchwork! Ive started trying it out again. Thanks for the inspirational posting! I have to go and try now!!
Thank you for your kind comments. You really don’t need talent to start doing patchwork just a few basic tools ie. cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler and start with simple shapes such as squares! Give it a whirl you might get hooked.
Lovely selection of quilts – you must all feel very pleased with the results! =D
Yes it was very exciting. I just have a lot of binding to do now! Thanks for visiting and your kind comments.
STUNNING quilts! amazing…you ladies are so talented. Wish I could sew
Thank you.
