A while ago I read about Quilts 4 London - a project to provide every athlete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London with a quilted pennant. Of course I had to make one; exactly my cup of tea! I went through my extensive stash of screen printed gymnasts and found one that just fitted in the A3 sized template. I added a shadow, quilted it and voilà! Now I only have to add a sleeve and a label. I may make another one, it's fun and not much work!
While going through my screen printed fabrics I also found these four cyclists and pieced them together. This could make a nice small wall hanging, don't you think?
And I added a shadow to this ice skater - this one is ready to quilt now.
I have also, finally, made a start on the Animal Kingdom quilt for Art Quilts Around the World. About time, it needs to be finished at the end of this month! Will show a sneak peek soon.

Congratulations on being 'Spotlighted' in Quilting Arts Magazine. I was thrilled to see an Australian in such a wonderfully inspiring international magazine and equally thrilled that it was someone who's blog I have been following for a while. I love your sports figures.
Cheers

Your banners and wall hangings are all delightful.
Why oh why do we have three months to make a quilt that takes so little time usually? I wish we did at least two in that time. could you take a vote?
What a great idea! I will look into it.
