A Special Day at Oast Quilters

This quilt adorns the cover of her her book showing the quilts she has made for family and friends.

Founder member Rosemary Marozzi's quilts were the focus of the January meeting of Oast Quilters. She is very unwell but her group helped gather 20 plus of the 50 or 60 in her possession and coordinated with Justin her son and Rosemary herself. Justin provided the family stories and memories of his mother's sewing while Rosemary described what went into the making of the quilts and members of her group held up quilts and ran round to point out which of the hanging quilts was being referred to. Rosemary described how she had undergone a "totally unexpected conversion"  and how her quilts became infused with her religious faith and an act of praise and thanksgiving. Many of her family members were there which made the day all the more special.
These pictures were taken by the Oast chairperson and have been downloaded from our (closed) Facebook site. I forgot my camera!
This Flower Fairies quilt made for a very lucky granddaughter is one of Rosemary's favourites.

A wonderful centrepiece

A very large quilt which took two and a half years to make even with help from group members.

Depicting scenes from one of the gospels, I think St Luke's.
