Hi everyone! At last, the Poppy Quilt is finished and delivered. I was up 'till quite late on Tuesday night, putting the binding on and doing the label! I presented the quilt to the RSL yesterday at a Remembrance Day service at the shopping centre where my Dad used to sell the Badges and poppies for Remembrance Day.
I took a photo of my father's plaque on display at the shopping centre. My mother and my niece and B.B. were with me. Little B.B. was somewhat confused when I gave her the red poppy to hold during the service, because I kept saying "here's your poppy" and I'm sure she was looking around for her Poppy (as in Grandad)!!! Once the quilt is up on the wall at the RSL club I will take more photos.
I received another lovely Siggy block in the mail yesterday - this one is from Angelika.... THANK YOU ANGELIKA, your block is so beautiful. I now have a public album of my Siggy Blocks.
So now it's back to the Christmas Quilt and the zillion other projects which seem to be piling up all over my sewing room! The Beach Quilt is coming along nicely, I think I have about 8 blocks ready now.
What a wonderful way to honor your father.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, and what a wonderful way to pay tribute to your father!
