What i've been up too....

There's been a bit of quilting stuff happening, and other sewing of course.

I'm a bit of a fan of this girl, and her beautiful work. I spied this quilt in Feb and think I pulled all the scraps out for it straight away! It took till now with all the other projects that came up to get it started- and it only took me a week! I used a pink homespun with it, as I use so much white in quilts I wanted something different.



I haven't decided on the layout yet, there are a few versions in the original post that inspired Nova (who has now inspired me hehe) so I might put the design wall up tonight and get laying!


I also saw this on Nova's blog (OK, now I sound all stalkerish, but I saw it over here too, it was a coincidence, I swear!) Anyway, it was good timing, as I have been pretty slack for the nephew...I mean, only 1 quilt in 8mths....sheesh!)

I got out the blue cotton stuff I scored a while ago when the school was throwing it out;


and a plan formulated when I spotted this thread at Spotlight. I'm going a bit neon mad at the moment, I like 'pops' of it in things at the moment.


So I joined The QAL and got started....might be getting ahead of myself though, better slow down!


  Couldn't resist a mirror ball dot in there hehe






The girl decided she needed to make some new lavender sachets today for her drawer....and lucky Henry got one for his sock drawer too!


 I had the Maze and Vale prints already pieced for a cushion, and this scrap was in the scrap bin just waiting...


Oh, and I finally got a snap of the girl and her braces...only took 3 weeks, and I think she forgot about them for a sec! I really thought it would be a year before she let me take a pic of her again!


Speaking of cute (weren't we?) here's the little man himself- 8mths old and standing/cruising and has started those slobbery baby kisses. In. Love!

His doing so well standing up already, my twin niece and nephew can only now start sitting up. Your daughter looks so cute with her braces. I love the lavender sachets too, which reminds me that I must make some more for my drawers.
