You can't waste any material...so now I have a matching doll quilt too!! All sandwiched ready to quilt... I also pieced the backing for the lager quilt below... Not a bad days work...and it's not over yet!

Soiree Coin Quilt Top...finished in less than 24 hrs! The first few looked like this! lol

With DH away for the night I was free to sew all night long...It is 2:15am and I'm now heading to bed...Russell has been up with me for most of the night...kicking and hiccuping! I wonder if he does that while I sleep?? I didn't just start 1 new quilt...I started 3!! I got a bit carried away...hope I don't pay for it too much in the morning...a sleep in is called for I think! So what did I sew...lots actually! A Jelly Roll and charm squares, have been turned into 'Chinese Coin Stacks' and are now hanging over the ironing board for tomorrow...hopefully the sashing and borders will be attach by tomorrow night and then sandwiched on Monday...holiday yeah!! From this... to this.... I also spent tonight chatting on-line to other late night quilters! I had to move the computer screen and keyboard so I could to both at once!! And I don't think Noodle helped much...just slept in my fabric!

Less than 50 days to go! (hopefully!!) I've just gotten back from our second Ante-natal class....'The birth video' It wasn't as bad as I was anticipating and DH handled it well also....although he still says he won't be looking 'down there'!! Russell continued to kick and wriggle for the entire 2 hours of the class! Dad and Kate were here for the weekend and we now have almost everything we need for the baby's room. The pram is on order and the boxes for the shelves are organised. Only the bedside table to get...we looked but I don't want to wait the 8 weeks it will take to order one from that store and so will look again on the weekend. This is the pram we got.... STROLLER FEATURES: Suitable from birth to 17kgs, Travel system stroller accommodates Strider DLX Infant Carrier and Bassinet, Easy one step fold-with or without seat attached, Reversing seat with three recline positions, Large canopy with viewing window, Large shopping basket, Swivel fron...

While Dad and Kate are visiting this weekend I pinched these photos off their camera....Isn't she a cutie!! Biased Aunty comment...but I'm allowed!! First Birthday Party... Easter.... With her Pa....

We went to our first Ante-natal class this week...and to be honest it was a bit boring...I felt like I was being tested, she was asking us lots of questions...I thought it was supossed to be the other way around?? Luckily I've done lots of reading and knew the answers!! We went through the positions of the baby in the uterus and when you would need a c-section. A super boring (and very out dated 80's) video on labour positions (you do what feels right don't you??) and then a tour of the ward and birthing rooms. No real surprises there but it was good to get a look at them and for DH to see where he needs to take me when the time comes. The best bit was the two newborns we saw in the nursery...one of them from my hydro class that had only arrived that morning! We've done a little more work on the nursery. Put the mobile above the change table and my nursing pillow arrived from NZ (you can't get them anymore in Oz!) We'll be looking at and buying a pram this weeke...

WOW 500 already....guess that means it is time for a giveaway....haven't decided if it will be fabric or a little quilt yet...I'll get it together tomorrow and post some pictures... Do you want to win??? Leave a comment before next Sunday and I'll draw a winner!
