Cuddles for Spot!

I remember now why I don't like making a quilt out of a panel...deciding what to quilt on the panel is always a problem for me. My skills don't match my ideas....so I just go basic and then don't like it very much!

There is a loopy stipple in white thread on the white in the centre of this quilt. The the 'piano keys' border is just 'ditched'


It was going to be for a teaching friends new little boy but I didn't notice the American 'incorrect' spelling til I went to sandwich it and I just can't give it to a teacher!

So this little cuddle quilt will be going to the Easter raffle for Aden's day care.

It would make a nice little blanket for Day Care


or it is also nice for a bit of rainy day cartoons!

Not sure why the pictures are so blurry and I've already given it to Day Care so I can't take anymore...sorry

Hi there,

Love the quilt and your son looks so comfortable.
We share heaps of similarities. I too am a Libra, have a passion for quilting, patchwork, stitching of any kind and now I am getting into card making and scrapbiiking. Oh plus my husband owned his own transport agencey in the UK (we're now in NZ West coast) and his qualified diesel mechanic. Love your dads trucks.
Have a great day and please keep showing your great creations. I am soon to post something with pictures - honest.

{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. ...
