mothers day

Happy mothers day to all Mum's, this is the gift I will be taking my mum today, I found a new way to use old doileys, I'm not quite sure how original it is but I think it looks quite good.

early easter.

the other day I got an early Easter gift, a nest of chocolate speckled eggs and a rose.

One Very Special Project...

Recently one of my very good friends returned from a five week study trip to New York. While she was over there she turned 21, so I decided to take the opportunity to make her a quilt, which would hopefully be ready for her when she returned. I've never attempted to make a quilt solo before, usually i just help Mum or Claire with one, but this time it was all me, and I'm a little proud. I made the Quilt out of the same squares Claire uses to make the aprons and bags, all of them are vintage sheets or pillow cases, and I purchased the boarders and binding from spotlight. I didn't follow a pattern, rather deciding to choose my favourite patterns and fabrics and sew them all together and prey that they looked good. I gave it to my friend on Friday, she was so happy with it, and rather surprised as well, which was nice. I definitely think more quilting is on the horizon, and with the help of this blog maybe the layout will get a little more intricate.
