Bloggers Quilt Festival - Spring 2010




Amy is hosting a Quilt Festival! You get to see so many beautiful quilts all in the one place in the comfort of your own home...or work desk as the case may be!

All you have to do is share a quilt you have made!

I'm going to share this quilt....

from a pattern yes but I loved making it!
Choosing the fabrics was fun...playing with colours mixing them up...changing my mind...I tried to be true to life but it ws hard with the bright fabrics...

I had a border dilema that was fixed by some helpful friends!

Progress pic...
All the animals finished

Of course it helps to love a quilt when your making it for a very special little girl!

I'm keen to make this one again...just to play with the fabrics!!

Pattern or no patter it is giving someone lots of wonderful hours of looking at a fabulous quilt! I designed patchwork quilting patterns for a living... and it definitely depends on HOW the quilter interprets it through fabric, color, and thread that makes it really come to LIFE! You did just that!

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!!
