Betty Houston of Figtree Pocket, Qld, made her 'Blue Dandy' (designed by Barbara Campbell) after finding it in a magazine and deciding it was the one she would lovingly make and give to her daughter-in-law Patsy. Betty is 80 years young and her work in many of the finer arts is exquisite. No surprise to learn that this year Betty was awarded 'Champion of Show' along with several other awards for her beautiful stumpwork at the Embroiderers' Guild Qld April Exhibition.
Patsy's preference is a 'no fuss' style of quilting so we chose to apply a balance of straight and curved lines in alternating fashion.
