The Centenary of Federation in Australia was celebrated in 2001. To commemorate this event I joined a fabric swap, you had to use fabric in one of the "Centenary of Federation" colors. I think there were 100 swappers in the swap.
I combined my fabrics with a piece I created at a class with Susan Matthews at the Dookie Quilting Weekend held that year (from memory). Then I added some gum leaves and a tiny bit of machine embroidery.
(sorry, this one of the centre is a bit blurry, you don't need to adjust your glasses)
Once quilted I will hang it in my office at school for a while.
That is a great COF Quilt!!! Love the gum leaves, too - making it even more special. What about Harry stepping down from Speaker this week!?
ReplyDeleteI had fun blogging about it all, it was a big day! XXXX
