Well it feels as though my to do list has rocketed this week, there are babies being born and little ones birthday parties to attend and with both of those comes the need for gifts. I always prefer to give handmade where possible and where I think it will be appreciated. However this does increase my work load drastically.
A good friend of mine had a gorgeous baby girl last week, she's called Elsie Rae, isn't that adorable! So of course I wanted to make her something lovely. I don't want to reveal it all until I have given it to her gorgeous mama but here is a sneak peak
I love how this is turning out and am thinking of doing another one for one of Boo's friends that turns 4 this week. We also have another two little peeps birthdays coming up and a baby shower, see what I mean by so much to do!!!!
Have I mentioned that I am taking part in the Brit Japanese fabric swap held by Fluffy Sheep Quilting, I'm so excited, I ordered my fabric today
Don't you think this is so cute? Hope everyone else that is taking part loves it, I thought it looked like it would work well cut up into 5 inch squares.
I have managed to get another block done for my Farmers Wife quilt and I am so happy with how it turned out, I know it's one of the easy ones but all my seams line up and I like the dark salmon pink, I think its going to look quite interesting with the other pinks I have chosen.
For any of you that missed my last post, I'm teaching an introduction to quilting quilt at my local craft group and thought I would simultaneously run it on here as a quilt-a-long for anyone that wants to learn a few of the basics. The quilt I've designed for this project looks like this
Sorry for the very rough sketch!
For more details and for fabric quantities check out
this post.
And lastly I thought i'd include this photo of my little Boo
He got a new bath towel/robe and is modelling it beautifully
Linking up with Megan for
Sew Modern Monday and Heather and Megan for Fabric Tuesday, make sure you head over and see the great things everyone's been making
