Happy New Year

Hi there! I have been missing in action for a little while. I have been busy sewing, sorting out the kids and other normal stuff, but I have been a busy bee sewing.

Before Christmas I started a hen for my Mum as part of her Christmas present. I finished him and loved the result!!



Ok, that photo makes it look a bit wonky, but I assure you he stands up straight!!



Here is Miss K giving it a cuddle. She has been wanting to do this ever since I started making it!

I also found the quilt that I made for Miss K. It is rather hot here at the moment so I had put it away but I found it and thought I would take a photo of it to put on here. I really like it. It makes me smile at the pinkness of it lol!! This quilt is actually my second quilt that I made and I finished it approximately in September 2009. I love it!!



Ignore the mess in the background lol!! It is square, but the photo doesn't really show that.

Here is a photo of the centre.



It is a log cabin block, but I used flannel in the light pink, and ordinary cotton for the rest of it and it turned out nice and cuddly.

I have been working hard on that 'winding ways' quilt and I have almost finished the quilt top!! Yay!! I am so proud of it!! I just have to add a border to two sides of the quilt and then hopefully on Saturday I can pin the quilt together and start quilting it!!! Very happy and proud!!

:) Take care and I will be back soon!!
