Quilting!

I have been busy over the last few days, cutting 100's of squares and triangles to make my first quilt. EEEK! I want it to be big enough to cover our bed, i am happy enough with sewing the patches together but what i am worried about is inserting the wadding and then sewing it up and 'doing' the actual quilting part. Any suggestions would be really welcome. I am not sure how i will get something so big through my sewing machine...


Anyway, i am loving it, it's a really therapeutic thing to do in the evenings whilst developing my addiction to Madmen!

Flower Power

In other news, this amazing flower has appeared from nowhere in my garden and i have no idea what it is - any ideas?

Baby Book

A year ago on October 1st, one of my closest friends had her first baby Georgina. And i was lucky enough to be her birth partner so was present at the amazing home birth. Wow.

So, i want to make something special for her 1st birthday. I was thinking of making a soft book for her, with things to do, feel, look at, learn from etc. I have had a quick google search and have a few ideas but if anyone has any i would be really grateful. Also where can i get some mirrored material so she can see her cute little face on one of the pages??!

Thanks guys!

Hope you are all having a great week.

Paris!

I have been away for a while, in Paris with Rich. It was our first holiday together and my first in about 3 years. We really needed the break and as the days went by i felt (most of) my stress melting away. It is no secret that i suffer with depression and the last few months have felt pretty tough. Rich is my rock and it was wonderful being away with him. I have come back feeling more refreshed and looking forward instead of behind me.


So, here are a few photos of our trip!

Bonsoir! x
