Challenge cushion cover entries at conference 2012
These are some of the entries in the category"Year of the Farmer". Each entry received a Year of the Farmer apron. The winning cushion cover was C5 by Val Coates. |
The theme of this group was "Roses", The inspiration came from the Ruth Fairfax Anniversary rose and the winner was Gay Burey's "Rose Window" C3 |

ALZHEIMERS' APRONS
Cushions are probably not a good idea as they can slide off the lap. An apron has been suggested or a small lap quilt.
Here is an apron that has removable straps. Remember to make it washable and lightweight for drying and storing away.

Enough blocks for interest and variety. The straps have velcro to hold them in place or left off. There are attached daisies, a corner pocket, ribbon and bow. Bottom left is fringed fleece. |
Laces to tie, elastic in a casing, button and strap "handkerchief" attached to inside of pocket and some suffolk puffs. |
Slider on tape, zip, satin ribbon attached at edges, a flap, puffs and animals under a flap. |
THE TRAVELING QUILT UPDATE
The quilt from every State is nearly complete. It will make it's debut at the Melbourne quilt show before going around the country to other shows. Try to see it if possible. It is 4m wide.
