Gather Ye Rosebuds quilt

Next month during the annual Carnival of Flowers program Kat of KoolKat will be opening her studio and exhibiting her award-winning quilts.

The exhibition will be part of a Quilts, Stitches and Textiles Trail.

Kat’s signature quilt, Gather Ye Rosebuds, will be among those on display.  Originally designed as a Block of the Month, several versions of this quilt have won awards both here and overseas.

Kat first discovered the design in a book of stained glass window designs.  It had been simplified from a design by Alex Gascoyne in 1910.  The design came to life in a large window panel in a house in Sherwood, Brisbane.  After taking up quilting, Kat rediscovered the pattern and went through the process of converting it to a quilt design.   This was an exacting and time-consuming process, eventually requiring nearly 100 pages of pattern design, released in a 13 part pattern set.  

The process was described in detail in an article in Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine.
