Moving on...

from the last post as it makes me feel a bit negative. I've nicked this photo from Loz and Dinny of these quilts I made and forgot to photograph. They're pretty wonky (but don't tell Tavish and Arlo) and I discovered that even with a walking foot you have to be really careful when quilting flannel. There's a lot of puckering on the back. I've got some of the fabric left so Arj will be getting one too one of these days. The fabric is All Star by Riley Blake which you can get here. It's perfect for boys.

Secret Maisy Business

A work in progress. I've been having fun with this and doing my first attempt at machine quilting. I only have the binding to go now and I think I'll get it done in time for Christmas. I'm hoping this will replace the quilt I carried on the back of my bike to the airport in Nice as Chloe's tv watching quilt of choice. Then, perhaps, I could use mine.

Just an aside. Does anyone else have glitter all over their house, themselves, their kids and even trailed into the garden?

Indigo quilt

In the spirit of Loobylu's Friday Archives I thought I'd put up a picture of something I made a few years ago. It's a cot quilt made long before Chloe was born - before we even owned a cot! The fabrics are vintage Japanese cottons. The placing of the pieces was almost entirely due to me being unable to bear the thought of cutting the fabrics. I was really happy with how it turned out.

Now for the big question! What is this quilt doing now?

Sitting in a box in the wardrobe. How sad is that - once Chloe came along and we realised just what a chucky baby she was the quilt got put away. I think I'll go and put it into use now - the chucky days are gone! Yay!
