Can I still squeeze in ...

Why do I want to join Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day?
Because I have 2 more finishes to show you; well all right, for the new bees I'll show them all from this year/month.

First up is In the land of Grey & Pink made for my Hedy's babygirl Lisa.


Next is present for my dear friend Bea who wanted a piano runner for her birthday. Made with a fat8th bundle of Oakshott Ruby's which are never as good on any picture as they are in reality!
I gave the left overs to my mum who wants to make a table runner out of them.


And then the last one: my value quilt, my happy colours quilt.
I made for a lady in our street who had a baby boy (last year!) and he could crawl very quickly by now ...




Pattern by Malka Dubrawski "Strips and Bricks" , fabrics from my stash, size after washing was (I've written it down somewhere but can't find it now) about 47"x52"
The quilting on all these quilts is very simple because I have an arm who does not abide to my wishes!! We're making compromises from time to time.


I hope you like them as much as I do. But now, what next?
As if I didn't have 15 projects on the go. Dûh! Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?

I'm a little stuck on this one: I want to make a cheery orange quilt, but this might be too much ...
Blocks are by CluckCluckSew : easy bow tie blocks

Advice badly needed!!


And if you've read this far, there's one more thing:
I want to wish you a very good week, sewing and otherwise!

I won, I won!

Today I received a small package from the UK: I had ordered something from Crafts and Quilts of Southport. I found their name on a page of http://veryberryhandmade.co.uk : a big list of UK fabric shops. I had a look around those shops and ordered these:

32 charm squares a packet of 6 different fabrics: I love 'm!
All orange and yellow, they're called: Oranges & Lemons. Might also be a good name for a quilt too.

Now what did I win?
Well, this:  the kind people of Crafts and Quilts send me something extra:
I know it's all part of customer relations, but it's nice, isn't it? I like it.
 As for now I have to get a move on quilting this baby:
Yes, that's his name!
His parents are so proud!
I just have to finish quilting and binding it and then we can go and see him.

As for our own doggie baby:

Angus got himself a friend as of this morning. We had to separate them for they couldn't stop playing. That is once Angus knew what to do ...
But we couldn't keep them apart.

Have a great week sewing or whatever your plans are.
