Here 'tis


This is the quilt I ordered from Vietnam Quilts. We bought the batik fabric at the markets in Siem Reap, Cambodia and chose the other fabric from the samples at the Vietnam Quilts store in HCMC. This is a pretty ordinary photo, it certainly doesn't do the quilt justice, but you can see how much work has gone into making it. Apart from the seams at the edges it is all hand-sewn. All up it took about 5-6 weeks to make. Now I am in the process of ordering another quilt - this time I am getting a single bed quilt for my Nan. I think my family is single-handedly supporting this organisation!
