Hello still here

Well it turns out I am seriously rubbish at keeping up with the blogging. I have have been sewing though.

 I have finished my red white and blue quilt top. This is entirely made from the stash. Total bonus I have managed to get rid of some fabric.

Lots of people we know are expecting. These are for a baby born last week. 

 This a quilt I was commissioned to make for a little girl. The brief was not too pink. Well pink did sneak in but I am not a fan of pink, so I understand about not liking pink but some pink is necessary.

 Bibs for a new year's eve baby.

 Makeup pouch for an 11th birthday. I was filled with makeup and hair suff, just what you need if you are a pre teen. Also great to see the father of pre teen realise what the future holds.

Table runner for the parents.

So this month the plan. Quilt some quilt tops and a table runner and make a another baby quilt.

The bibs are part finishes from my Q1 list.

SomeTuesday Finishes

I finished all of Friday's things. I haven't bothered to take pictures of the skirt partly because the daughter has worn it and spilled her dinner on it and also it literally was just making the waist elastic to size.

Easter placemats are waiting to feature in an Easter post, so I will show you the finished pram blanket. The third fabric from the top is genuine 70's. I think that makes it vintage.

Is it up-cycling when you use something that was used before for something else? Well the back is a blanket I used for my daughters, so I guess it is probably recycling as it purpose hasn't really changed.  

I also made some bibs. Yes, they all need a fastener at the back that will happen. 

I am going to be selling my wares at a local sale on 28 April. It is being organised by a local children's group and they want products aimed at children and babies. Hence the little blankets and the bibs. No more babies for me. Well unless the small black dog has puppies... That would be great. 

Work in Progress - oops is it Thursday already.

 Is it Thursday already? Oops I missed WIP Wednesday. Well this week I have made a little quilt and a bib (modelled here by Rosie the doll). Now before anyone asks they are not for me. The quilt will go up for sale in my Etsy shop and the bib is for another Mum, who has children in my daughter's class, and has just had a new baby.

 My daughter found the label maker and labelled my tins. The scissors were going to say "Freddie's sewing scissors. Only to be used for fabric use for anything else and face the consequences". Apparently that wouldn't fit.

I also started a little pink quilt. Again to go in my Etsy shop.

I am now going to sew down the binding on the pink quilt. More tomorrow.
