6 years in the making!

While at my friend Cath's place to celebrate her birthday yesterday.... it was mentioned that the quilt I helped her make at least six years ago was still sitting there with the binding half sewn. We were making the little quilt for baby number three who has now just turned seven a few weeks ago (you might remember the little apron I made for her birthday). Cath now has five children....and I couldn't see her getting it finished any time soon so I took it home and hand-stitched the rest of the bind last night. It really is the sweetest little colourwash quilt and will be just perfect for Cath's newest addition!

Until next time.......

  1. Cath's new addition will surely love her little quilt, very cute! Goes to show you that good things can still come of the quilts that we have put off.
