Baby Quilt 2 is finished

Well I'm pleased to say that Baby Quilt no.2 is now finished (we wont talk about baby quilt no.1).... not much else happening in the sewing department of late.... things have just been crazy busy!

I love how this quilt turned out -

although it's not a patch on my gorgeous new nephew, Reid... isn't he just adorable?

And then there's his big sister too.... cute as!!!

Baby Quilt 2

The second quilt in the bunch of Charm square baby quilts I'm making is for my new Nephew, Reid who arrived a little earlier than expected....

I've used 'Pure' by Sweetwater for this one which I've had in my stash for a while.

Also for Marlie

I was about to post off the little dress I made for my niece when I thought she should also have an apron... since I've made one for everyone else I know... and it must be over a couple of weeks since you had an apron post, lol.

Just a simple little one .... I cut a pattern off one that Miss 14 had when she was small and added a cute love heart shaped pocket.

A Dress for Miss Marlie

I made this belated Christmas pressie for my dear little two year old niece, Marlie.... I've been promising my sister-in-law that I'd make her one of these for a while as she loved the ones I make for my sisters little girl a couple of years ago.

The tutorial is from 'Polka dot chair' and you can find it here.

I've used this tutorial a couple of times now and found it really straightforward and easy to make.

 I love how this one turned out and can't wait to see her in it!

Baby Quilt 1

I now have the first quilt top together for the five Upsized Charm Square baby quilts that I'm making .... I'm hoping to get all five of them to this stage as soon as I can and then I'll applique the names on them as the babies arrive.

Clever Miss

This gorgeous girl was made by Miss 14 at school..... they had to choose a soft-furnishing to make and her teacher wanted her to work on something a little more challenging. Miss 14 has always loved this doll that I made quite a while ago but hadn't been game enough to try making one herself until now.... she completed it with no help at all and did an amazing job!

She's not quite finished as she still has the wings and wand to make as well as the bells to attach but I couldn't wait any longer to show you!

The pattern is called "Faerie Noelle" by Annie Smith of Country Keepsakes

In progress

Since there are a number of babies arriving in the next little while.... I'm working on a bunch of little baby quilts both as gifts and for a couple of orders that I have....  this is the one I'm working on at the moment.

The fabric is 'Sunkissed' by Sweetwater which I've had for a while but one of their newer ranges called 'Noteworthy' is much the same colour range.

These lovely fabrics are next in line.... 'Scrumptious' by Bonnie and Camille & 'Road 15' by Sweetwater

Cheers
