EB Doll Quilt Swap II

The lovely Island Kylie has sent me a Doll's Quilt for this years swap. It is a beautiful tiny Log Cabin style quilt in bright orange and green. I've already added it to my wall of little quilts and it looks lovely!!

Thanks so much Kylie I really like it!


And I of course made one to send to another lovely EBer, Bec!!

I wasn't totally happy with this one but Bec's lovely comments on a previous post convinced me to send it to her....after all I had put a lot of time in to it and I really do like the pattern....I'm even thinking out using it again for another quilt!!

I few people enquired about the pattern and I don't feel right in posting a tutorial on here, as I got it straight from a magazine, Down Under Quilts Issue 123. It is the quilt on the cover. I like their fabric choices better of course and I have a few of them but not enough variety to go with them, so I chose my own colours from what I had here. I actually like the backing fabric the best!!

IVF update....after a massive scare on Tuesday which sent to back to the clinic to get checked out, being given the OK and then resting HEAPS, I am finally starting to feel better. My tummy is still very swollen and tender.

Thank goodness I got to leave a comment, I just love this little quilt and it will be the first anything to go on a wall in our new house. I have been wanting something to go in our small entryway and this will be perfect.

Gorgeous logs! I'm guessing they're 1/2in wide at the most? I really like the design of the quilt you made, too.

They are both wonderful quilts! I love Kylie's colour combination, so bright and cheery, I think I might try a log cabbin style next time, it is so effective.

I'm glad you liked the one you made, I love the contrasting fabrics, it is very eye catching!

{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. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! 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.
