BABY QUILT DONE

Hi everyone I hope you all enjoyed the weekend.  I finally finished this quilt on Saturday for my friend Jenny who had a baby 9 weeks ago.  Her gorgeous daughter Grace was born 6 weeks prem and weighed just over 1kg.  She had to stay in hosptial for 6 weeks and it was a bit touch and go in the first week but she survived and is now very strong and healthy, weighing 3kg now.  I gave the quilt to Jenny last night and she loved it. 




I personalised it with her name and quilted it with straight lines.  Here is a close up of the lettering and quilting.  I love these fabrics and I love that crinkly look it has after being washed.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these quilts for your little one or as a present I am taking custom orders.  Email me for the price and details.  I can also make it in boy colours or any other colours if you prefer.

Here is baby Grace lying on her quilt she is soooooooo cute and tiny like a little doll.



The next project I'm working on this week are some cushions I'm going to give to a friend for Christmas.  I'm going to use these fabrics.  She has a plain creamy/beige doona cover on her bed so I'm hoping these fabrics will match nicely.  I will post photos when they are finished.

Before I start any sewing I need to tackle this pile of ironing that has been neglected for the last week.  So I better stop staring and start ironing.


Have a great week.

Your quilt is wonderful Carol! What a little cutie she is!
Don't fret, the ironing isn't going to run away. Creases and wrinkles are fashionable, didn't you know?!!!

Hi Carol Have fun with that pile of ironing - don't you just wish an Ironing fairy could just appear and do it all.
How cute the quilt you made for little Grace is - fabulous colours and design.
Look forward to seeing the one you are making next

Hi Carol

Love the quilt and isn't little Grace gorgeous!

Never mind about the ironing, although I'm lucky I don't have school uniforms or business shirts to do

have a great week

Hi Carol, Grace's quilt is just beautiful! What a lovely present. I think the colours of the fabrics will go really well with a creamy doona cover, I'm sure the cushions will look great! I always need to do ironing, infact I have a special ironing basket so if anybody can't find their clothes they'll know where to look as it always seems to be full! I hate ironing, I'd rather clean a whole house than iron... take care, Maryann
