I can't believe I haven't managed to write anything here for about 6 weeks! My intentions have been good and my creative life has been quite productive but life - family life in particular - is busy! This coupled with terrible weather and a lack of internet hasn't been very helpful to the blogging experience! I've just got through a manic school week of Christmas concerts and Toddler group related Christmas activities while my husband flew to Northern Ireland for his grandmother's wake and funeral. It has been an emotionally draining week but there are only 3 more school days left of term and then my Big Girl will be home for the holidays and there will be lots of R and R - and baking and crafting one hopes!
I've been busy on the quilting front - finally completed my mother-in-law's birthday/Christmas quilt (pics to follow), and I'm just about finishing up a quilt for my niece. Here are some pics of the progress:
It's a wonky star quilt! I LOVED making this! There are only 6 block as it is a baby quilt and I used the tutorial
here with great success. The fabric line I used was Tea Time by Makower, with a few bits of stash thrown in. For an easy life the white backround was a Bella Solid charm pack!
This quilt top has been sandwiched, basted and stippled already :-). The binding is cut and will hopefully be attached today - the sun is shining so if my fingers are quick I may get a snapshot later on!
