I have nearly finished the top of Olivia's quilt with only one more side of the boarder and then the binding to sew before it's ready to sew the batting and backing.
When I laid the quilt out on the bed to take a photo Charlie jumped straight up onto the bed and sat right on top of the quilt. He seems to think he is the official quilt tester.
Jacinta's Blue Willow Quilt
I couldn't wait to start the Blue Willow quilt so last night after tacking all the material onto the templates I sewed one of the triangle blocks together. I love the fabrics and am pleased that I went for the large squares so that each fabric design can be seen. With the blocks being so large compare to my other quilts it will probably take less time to sew this quilt than Olivia's.
I have been wanting to make a peg bag for months as I don't like the plastic ones and the material ones either rip or are too small.
I go to Brink, a craft group on Tuesday mornings so along with another lady I cut off a pattern and we made a peg bag each. Apart from making the hole at the front too big I am happy with my new peg bag. The bag had it's first workout today and held together so that was good.
It was fun making the peg bag - maybe I will make some more for presents ..
Siobhan's birthday present
My niece, Ruth made beautiful folios for her girls for Christmas. I saw the pattern at the quilt shop a few weeks and remembering how lovely Ruth's were I decided to try and make one for Siobhan for her 4th birthday.
