EB Doll Quilt Swap III

I received this lovely parcel in the mail last week but wasn't allowed to open it til today! And what a lovely quilt it is!!

Car has done an outstanding job and made me the most perfect quilt! It is so me! Blue and white, diamonds, pinwheels and hand quilting...all of the things I love!

I'm very impressed with the quality and workmanship...although I'm not surprised really all of the things she makes are great! Well Done Car. I love it!!
She also included some of her favourite Christmas chocolates and a magazine!

Thanks Car!!

And Emma got the one I made!
I made it using a block called 'Four in the Night' but I re-arranged the layout and edited the name to suit Emma's quilting habbit,'Four in the Morning'
I added a picture of her home town at sunrise on the label...as I'm sure she has seen a few while quilting!

AJ, I really like the colour combination you put together for Emma and the name is so fitting. Nice touch with the label.

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. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
