Quilt-a-long....Panel Quilt

New quilter Emma asked for some help to make a quilt from a panel and some matching fabric she was given....So I've taken up the challenge...she found a quilt that she liked and I worked out the block sizes for her...then I got to thinking...don't I have a panel here somewhere that I would like to make into a quilt...and yes I found one!

So instead of just giving Emma the instructions...I'm going to show her...and you too if you like!

Finished Quilt Size = single bed

Fabric requirements:
Fabric Panel = 35 1/2 x 45 1/2 inches
Fabric A = 90cms x 40cms (Brown)
Fabric B = 112cms x 55cms (Yellow)
Fabric C = 112cms x 150cms (Dark Blue)
farbic D = 112cms x 55cms (Light Blue)
Fabric E = 112cms x 85cms (Green)
Backing = 112cms x 5 metres

These measurments are given in centimetres as that is the common way to buy fabric here in Australia....all other instructions will be given in inches

Aden helping Mummy pick fabrics!

Step One
Trim the panel to 35 1/2 inches x 45 1/2 inches

Becuase of the wonky cut on the panel I had I've had to add a little extra to the sides and top/bottom to get it to these measurements...


Then cut two lenghts of fabric A 35 1/2 inches x 7 inches and attach to the top and bottom

Un-finishd size edge to edge is 35 1/2 x 59 inches

More soon.....

So, it would seem that Aden is like James, and rather keen on pinks?!

{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.
