My baby's fourth birthday and finished quilt

Hurray!! I finally finished Freya's quilt last night, and very pretty too, if I don't say so myself!  She was so happy with it and snuggled up straight to sleep with it on her bed.  Not so sure about the white with a six year old after the felt pen incident with her younger sister's quilt, but we shall see!


The pattern is garden trellis and I machine quilted with a stipple all over.

My youngest, Audrey was four over the weekend.  I can't believe how time has flown, she still feels like my little baby!  We had been out the day before to choose a party dress for her and this was the outfit she chose (very pink and frilly - not necessarily what I would have chosen) but she did look so cute.  We held a build a bear party for her and as she went to bed she said she had had the loveliest birthday ever.  What a cutie, I do love her so.


Here she is on her new High School Musical bed sheets (note - missing the quilt that mummy has made! which has had to be put away for while until felt tip pen's can be kept away from it - we had a bit of an incident)

Yet another snowy day...


Well, the kids are off school yet again and I am snowed in yet again, starting to go a bit stir crazy now.

Seriously staring to run out of fabrics now, other than scraps and sample fabrics my interior designer friend has given me.  I had a small jelly roll which I made up yesterday into a garden trellis pattern but I have no  fabric for the borders or binding and I so wanted to get today to get some and some fabric for another project.  I try not to buy fabric unless it is for a specific project and I have finished all my UFOs so am a bit stuck!  This is when it is a problem living out in the middle of nowhere!

The kids are being brilliant, they are playing together really nicely and not fighting - I wonder how long this will last!



Well I shall get on with a couple of small things and pray for warmer weather!  Maybe the postman will get through and bring me some of the fabric I have ordered.

Christmas Wall Hanging

This is one of my projects for Christmas 2009. A Nancy Halvorsen design, quilted and embellished with seed beads.

Audrey's Quilt

I started this quilt in June 2009 for my youngest daughter using a jelly roll, it is lovely and bright and she loves it, although it has now been confiscated until she stops wetting her bed!
The quilt is hand quilted with hearts over the blocks and flowers around the edge.


Smaller Projects

I had a lot of scraps left over from my sampler quilt and a new book on cathedral window, these are the resulting projects.
