Bonkers Postbag!
27th August 2025
It is such a privilege to be the one who gets to open all of the beautiful quilt pieces coming in from all over the world, and a joy to stitch them into our Bonkers Quilt. Today I have three more lovely creations to show you.
Cleo from the US created a sweet scrappy string quilted heart in shades of pink and purple and trimmed with lace. Heart shapes work so well to fit into the wonky spaces between other pieces.
Kath in the UK sent a really lovely, perfectly-stitched little woodland scene featuring a cat doing some stitching in the sunshine, she also included some cute little heart motifs I can dot around the quilt.
Kerry, also in the UK, made her piece with some gorgeous vintage table linen with colourful applique, which she framed with coordinating stitching, so pretty.
An extra surprise was some lovely perle threads from Marian, one of the Bonkers Crew, who helped me to organise our Stitchy Corner at the Bazaar August Show.
