sheep weather warning

This is a selection of quilts made over many years. Some are pretty awful and some are fun, some are samplers and some are for family birthdays. Some have gone overseas, one has gone missing.
Posting these is time consuming so I'll do the rest another day. What they do show however is the patterns of textiles from the late 80s early 90s which is of interest to me.
My fav was the one which went missing after kids moved flats. I liked it because it was the first one I began to play with without patterns, then the Afternoon Tea one which was a giggle and the one of Sheep Weather Warning, all three are where I just did my own thing.

Wagga again, this quilt went missing in Vic Park somewhere, I'd love to know what happened to it.

Afternoon tea, it looks odd but was selected for exhibition at a contemporary art quilt show in 95.

Irish Chain, I don't like the colours and the border was added much later
