A patchwork quilt by Helen Gammon
"French Pastorale"
This was made in the year 2006.
(Width = 143 cm, height = 101 cm.)
Made in December 2006 for Priscilla Alderton.
Priscilla commissioned another quilt for her new country house and selected the fabrics herself. She loves all things French and presented me with a bag of French furnishing fabric remnants purchased at a shop in Double Bay, Sydney! I used a favourite combination of the evening star and puss in the corner blocks as I had only small scrappy pieces to work with in the body of the quilt. The toile formed the centre of the stars and I saved the wonderful regency stripe for the borders and tabs.
Machine pieced. Machine quilted by Carra Mallee Quilting.
This quilt was made by Helen Gammon.
