Mrs Billings' Coverlet


March 2012...

Leigh has completed Mrs Billings! At 9.17 pm Wednesday evening to be precise!


Here is a close up of Leigh's lovely fussy cut hexagons.

Here are some beautiful photos of Helen's quilt, aren't the little elephants gorgeous!



Helen is now out to the hexagon rosette border, look at that fussy cutting!


November 2011...

One of my star pupils, Shirley, brought along her completed Mrs Billings' Coverlet to show us her progress. Shirley started with me at the beginning of 2011 and is now hand quilting her beautiful version. Sue Daley is having a very close look at how the quilting is progressing. Maybe Sue will hand quilt hers too when she has finished!

Shirley has finished her Mrs Billings' quilt top and has decided to quilt it by hand!
Jenny from NSW came for a visit, isn't it lovely.

Mary's bright and cheerful Mrs B, almost finished the double diamond border!

  1. My Mrs. Billings has stumbled at the double diamonds, but hopefully the Christmas break will see her on her feet again. I am in Melbourne for the tennis in late January ad will bring her into the shop for inspection

  3. Amazing quilts inspired by this antique original - which is at the Quilt Museum, York, UK, just in case you get a chance to visit. http://www.quiltmuseum.org.uk/collections/heritage/billings-coverlet.html It looks like it will be featured in their next exhibition, 'The Blossoming of Patchwork', which opens on 17th May 2013.
