pram / dolls quilt

some friends have recently had a baby girl so I made them a little quilt that could go in the pram and then down the track she could use it as a dolls quilt.  I realise it doesn't look square but it is honestly...

the binding was kindly donated - scraps from the backing of this one - thanks K, much appreciated xx.

fimo beads

the bells and I have been busy creating some colourful beads on black leather thonging.

here are the perle 8's

self explanatory....

basting :: completed :: ready for hand quilting

I met up with Kylie on Saturday at amitie - the backing and binding fabrics were very well chosen, below is the backing. The binding I'll share when I'm closer to that stage.  I shall await the arrival of the perle 8 for the hand quilting.... (no pressure K :)), I have a little something else on the go at the moment.

Basting is not so bad when you put on a few tunes and take your time...

couldn't stop :: had to keep going

after finishing the quilt top the other day, I wasn't ready to stop so I put a few of the little scraps together and made a dolls quilt for little miss goLdChaLK

a few of my favourite Liberty's - I love the light blue one with the tiny birds and the tiny leaves - so sweet.  I have a little treasured piece of it and it's in a couple of my quilts.  Every now and then you come across some fabric that you just fall in love with, you don't just like it or think it's ok - you love it.

pick your own berries

We went berry picking yesterday at Blue Hills Berries & Cherries, it is so lovely out there at Silvan, we came home with 2 kilos of berries, a mix of strawberries, blackberries & raspberries - all very delicious.  The order was for smoothies when we came home and I whipped up a berry cake which ended up being dinner...

quilt top is done

no dilly dallying going on here, the top is finished. I have enjoyed putting the top together so much - there were only one or two fabrics from the original pile that didn't make it in...
