Elm Creek Novels

This is a pic of the quilt I made to celebrate the National Year of Reading (2012).  The centre has the Elm Creek Manor with features mentioned in the novels, eg the grey stone building, full length front patio, apple orchard, tall trees and circular drive,  The flying geese circle is from a novel where Sylvia walks outside and sees the geese flying overhead.  I then completed it with chain stitch embroidery using a pattern in an Australian quilting magazine and a final border foundation pieced including printed images of covers of the novels.

This quilt was displayed in our local library (Caloundra, Sunshine Coast).
