Celtic Birdwing Pendant; Rings; Coral Tree


Silversmithing.  I made the Celtic Birdwing Pendant and rings in 2006.  I adapted the pendant design from a large bird pattern in a Celtic quilting book.  I also made and designed the simple Wide Rings using hole & circle punches.  All in stirling silver .925

The Silver Coral Tree was cast by my father Cliff c.1980.  It had never been polished as he didn't have the equipment, so he would be very pleased if he could see that I've finished it off.

Matilda's Gumnut Baby Quilt

A cot sized quilt I made for Matilda in 2008, featuring May Gibb's Gumnut Baby fabric and small 4-patches in matching scrap fabrics at the intersections of the sashings. 

The back of the quilt is made from the left-over fabrics and other matching fabrics. 

Machine sewn and machine quilted.  100% cotton.
