At the school gate on Tuesday, I got my first glimpse of a friend's new baby boy, born a couple of days before Christmas. So I came home, to an empty house, (woop-woop!), and made him a quilt, like you do.
A charm pack of Sweetwater Road 15 plus some IKEA fleece, and after a little bit of head-scratching, a few extra charms to make up the pattern, a sweet little Plus quilt was all stitched up…
Very pleased with the simplicity and effectiveness of one little charm pack, and the recipient, well his mummy at least, was totally thrilled.
I have also ticked off this month's Stitch Tease bee blocks for Di. A pair of scrappy Trip Around The World blocks…
They were popped in the mail today, along with a magazine project, so I'd call that a good start.
Next on my To Do list is, well, the list. My FAL plans need crystallising, after I have the buzzing of the first day back in the office, followed by a school cake sale, out of my head x
You're off to a brilliant start! jxo
ReplyDeleteYay! Since getting back to school ive hardly done any :-(. (Also got the dreaded tax return hanging over me!!!)
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I am always impressed by how quickly others get things done, it can take me a week just to decide on my fabric choice. x
