Buying and Selling

A beautiful baby quilt for a friends baby. She is only 8 months old now! I need to make a baby quilt for my new grandson, but the fabric just wont talk to me. I may have to buy some more and start over. He is 4 weeks old so I still have time before he starts school.. :)

I have started my selling adventure on Oztion and it isn't going too bad. There are a few hand-dyed things and a few embroidered things too.. it certainly isn't the flop I thought it would be.

Quilt Stand

I made it myself! It looks good enough to be a bought one, and it only took a couple of weeks at school to make this! The colour looks a lot better in real life. The Princess uses it to hang her quilts on so when she is finished with it, I will hang some of my own !!

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...

Another One Of THOSE Quilts..

This is the one I made for my first Granddaughter but I wasn't happy with it, so she didn't get it.

I love the colours and the fact it looks like a totally different quilt to the other 2 because I did it 'scrappy'. I don't like the fact that I ran out of pink gingham and had to put blue gingham in two of the blocks instead. Maybe I was being too picky about it. The Princess loves it though, she lays it out on the floor and looks at all the different blocks, finding all the different pictures. When she isn't well, she lays on the lounge, snuggled under this quilt.

There is one more quilt version of this pattern.... !
