For a Tiny Boy

This is my first effort for my new baby boy. Ok Ok I haven't posted for a while but life takes over sometimes! I'm hoping the girls from the Best Exotic Indigo Hotel will recognise this fabric! Yes it is indigo dyed and yes it is knit fabric.

Baby Quilt

I've been making this baby quilt for a fundraiser. I have lots of 4 inch squares from a fabric club I belong to. I chose bright pastels in orange blue and green and put on borders of green and orange. There are three stars done in raw-edge applique in one corner I'm hoping someone will like it enough to bid for it.

Multiplying like rabbits

I could have sworn I only made two of these!

A present for a new baby

I have always enjoyed making baby quilts. Knowing the smallest thing about the parents or the babe can give you great ideas to use for a quilt. In this case the quilt is a present for one of Suzi's close friends who is about to have her first child. This friend loves rainbows and I thought it would be great to do a chevron quilt in rainbow colours. THEN  I came across half a metre of rainbow stripes and a fat quarter of a different rainbow fabric. I used the stripe for the border and that really dressed up the chevrons. Rainbows suggest cloud and rain to me so I thought it would be sweet to do a cloud pillow (with rainbow legs of course). I stuffed the pillow very lightly, then I used the fat quarter to make a cushion in the shape of a rainbow. The rainbow hooks over the cloud in a really cute way. I definitely had fun with this one.

Change mat and holder

Just finished this change mat and holder for nappy and wipes. It's a gift. Whilst brown is not my fav colour this little lot coordinates well with bibs and burp cloths which were purchased as part of the gift.

Cat quilt

I know of an elderly cat who clearly needs one of my cat quilts. Well? Here it is! Trying out that easy way of doing the back and no binding. Being lazy in fact but it turned out OK. I have a stash of over thirty cat fabrics so I figure I need to use some of 'em up.

Little Treasures

Here's Craig hard at work cooking in one of his aprons. Hope he's making a batch of Jesus loaves. The raspberry ones are to die for. Ella has an apron too! So does Nick. Nick's good at coffee so he has the coffee guru apron.
