Crib Blanket

My friend had a little boy a couple of months and ive finally finished the crib/buggy blanket i wanted to make them!
The fabric is just some cute Michale Miller and Robert Kaufman fabrics i bought on ebay and its backed with super snuggly 'minky' fabric. I put some quilt wadding between the layers to make it nice and thick. Although we are having a mini heat wave here in the UK so maybe a blanket isnt very necessary at the mo!

Animal quilt

I finally managed to get a photo of the quilt i made for my wonderful little niece Chloe's first Christmas. I bought the animal fabric and the sandwiched very fat quilting wadding between it and the stripey backing. I then sewed round each animal so each one was all fat and cuddly. I sewed the edging on and it was done. It was a bit of a labour of love as my sewing machine would not cooperate! But i was so pleased with how it turned out, i think it might have even be the inspiration for starting this blog...

Flying birds quilt

I have fallen in love with this quilt! Hopefully i'll get to make it one day but i might need to save up for the volume of fabric a large bedspread sized one would require! Purlbee really does have the most amazing pattern and tutorials. I love the flying bird/triangle pattern and how the direction of the birds and the fabrics are abit mismatched in places. I love the colour scheme too - definitely one to add to the wish list!
