All Hail the Two Gails!

I have two talented quilting friends called Gail – Gail O and Gail D - and today I’d like to share with you their latest creations.

Gail O made this very tactile Noah’s Ark mini-quilt for her little granddaughter.

Gail’s our “queen of embellishment” and you can imagine how fascinating those fluffy tufts of ‘hair’ are going to feel to little E’s fingers.

Or she might like to rub the monkey’s tummy.

Or stroke these two fluffy velveteen ducks.

The elephant even flaps his ear Smile

And now for something completely different…

We all admired Gail D’s new block keeper roll at St Mark’s Quilters last week.

Such a useful accessory to carry quilt blocks on the go, and Gail’s version is just so luscious and rosy.

I made one for myself a few years ago, but I much prefer Gail’s chosen fabrics, so mellow and vintage – and PINK! And just look at that lining fabric with the fine handwriting.

If you’d like to make one for yourself, Gail used these instructions from Teresa’s blog All Things Vintage.
