Thanks Amy for hosting Spring 2011 Quilt Festival, which is held bi annually

If you haven't visited my blog before then welcome, I am really excited to be participating this year.

Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme Quilt designed by
Kookaburra Cottage


I made this quilt at the request of a lovely lady named Pam
who asked if I could make a quilt to be Raffled for  CIKA (Cancer in Kids) at
the Royal Childrens Hospital here in Melbourne.


It took me about 3 months to make and quilt and I was very pleased
with the way it turned out. It also used a good lot of my scraps up and raised about $5000 for the hospital which was so amazing.






Happy Festival!
Mandy
