My d’oyley collection includes many embroidered pieces worked by my Mother, Aunties and a Great Aunt.
This old d’oyley embroidered by Auntie Joan became the inspiration for my latest hooked rug design ‘New Beginnings’.
I hooked the rug in hand cut woollen fabrics purchased at Op Shops.
The long, cold nights during Winter provided more time for hand quilting. I completed my Peony Rose quilt and added Prairie Points for a fancy finish.
The pattern for this quilt is from the book In The Beginning by Sharon Yenter Evans. I made Ferol’s Peony Rose in French General fabrics and used a vintage sateen for the lattice.
I have stitched two more quilt tops which are now ready for basting and hand quilting. I hand pieced the Old Fashioned Spools top and machine pieced the medallion quilt.
Spring has arrived here with an abundance of golden wattle and thankfully some much needed rain.
Happy Stitching and take care, Janette The Plain Needlewoman
