Full Moon Forest


The perfect quilt, with a terrible photo!
This quilt came together beautifully, no unpicking, all went together easily, perfect width so I didn't have to join a backing, ran out of thread when quilting at the end of the quilting, no threads to tie in, all quilting started from the edge and was pretty much continious, a decent amount of backing left over for another project, and did I mention the colours...beautiful!!
I finished the binding today. It now means DH and I have one each on the couch. Boring quilting sorry Helen...so not ready for stippling!

Oh AJ it looks fantastic. I'm with you with the boring quilting. I must practice before I start on a quilt.

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts.

We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
