    Default From Australia..with love Quilt

    This is the quilt I have made to gift to the lovely lady who was my daughter's 'mom' for 9 months when she was on exchange in Belgium 16 years ago. In October my daughter and I are travelling to Belgium to attend the wedding of their daughter and I wanted to express my gratitude for the love and support given to my daughter that year (she had only just turned 18 when she left Aus). Time and distance hasn't waned their incredible bond and friendship and I am really looking forward to meeting this family.

    The quilt is made with indigenous fabrics and I have quilted the words 'from australia....with love' along the bottom of the quilt. I have also made a carry bag for it.

    Thanks for looking

    I am sure that this will be as priceless to her as her friendship was to your daughter. A super gift. Have a lovely visit. It's a beautiful quilt. BrendaK
