Progress

More progress on Number Two of my commission quilts...the pastel one...I put these 9 patches together last night and will join and add the borders today...then they will both be ready to be sandwiched...

I also sketched this last night for another commission...stars and brights with white borders....

And because of all this quilt talk with my sister she had asked if I could make her another quilt...she got my very first sampler quilt...this is what she has choosen....Cosmos Dust..but with a white back ground and a rainbow graduation of coloured stars from one side to the other...foundation piecing...YIKES!!!
This is only a cot sized quilt....so I will have to add a few more blocks, like heaps, to make it bigger

Good progress! I like the design you've sketched, too. AS fro teh cosmos, cool tesselations. DId you knwo that it's not just foundation-piecing, but lots of y-seams, too? I would make the block larger rather than just making more - saves effort and I think it might be too busy with lots more blocks!

{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.

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.
