Friday Flaunt on Saturday

but I have a really good excuse…. The Princess has been quite unwell and it is hard to do anything with a sick kiddie… today though, she is on the mend.. YAY !!

So, this is what I have made.. it is a ‘cosy’ for the yoghurt maker.. it seemed to be losing heat and the yoghurt was not working.. so it needed a cosy.. LOL..

It is made from 3 layers of polar fleece with a pretty strawberry embroidery on the front…

Trying to get Windows Live Writer to send this post to the blog was a nightmare I haven't worked out yet... so if someone would please help, I would be happy..

For Sir Billy

A cushion I made for our cat 4 years ago. I thought it would stop him from sleeping on the quilts I was trying to make at the time. He is a rather large cat so I made him a nice, large bean bag type cushion. It is made from polar fleece bought from the 'bargain' bin at Lincraft, with 2 layers of wool/poly wadding under the top layer. He totally ignored it for 3 years and when The Princess started playing with it, he decided it did indeed belong to him and he wanted it!! (Sibling rivalry between The Princess and Billy The Cat..!) He sleeps on it most of the time now, but still sleeps on any quilt I happen to spread out to sew...

Quilt As You Go

This was done as a QAYG. Very easy and very quick. The top is cotton, the middle is a wool/polyester blend wadding and the back is polar fleece. VERY warm. Again, it was made for The Princess for her cot. It is too small for her bed. I am thinking maybe I should unsew the bottom and one side, add a row or two to make it big enough. Sounds like a lot of work actually!! She can use it as a take-it-to-the-babysitters quilt.

No piece of fabric is repeated anywhere in the quilt and I only used what I had in the stash. It isn't every piece that I own - or owned at that time - because I didn't use The Special Pieces, but it was close! I think I should have enough to make another row or two all round.. but I wont. :)
