Belleville Rainbow Bees Date: 18/03/2007 © 2002. 152cm x 220cm (60" x 86.5")

Item: Single bed quilt

Description:Group quilt designed and quilter by Louise Mabbs and sewn by parents, teachers and friends for the school's 125th Anniversary. I bought and gathered fabrics from parents, cut out patches and templates and sent them out for tacking up. Then planned the design, added in colour gaps, safety pinned the rows out to be sewn together and pieced and quilted the rest myself. A rather large job, as we also made a Floral Bee Quilt which is still in progress and will stay in the school.

Construction: Hand pieced and quilted

Materials: Cotton fabrics, polyester wadding.

For sale: NFS, 2002 Christmas raffle quilt, proceeds and from card sales to Friends of Belleville Schools Association (PTA) Charity No. 270097
