A Baby Quilt

I've just realised I haven't shared the baby quilt 

I made for my flower girl's new daughter, Kelsey. 

It is made with Scrumptious by 

Bonnie and Camille and is a smaller 

version of the one I made in 2021. 

I found the backing fabric at Spotlight 

which matched perfectly.

I had been saving the leftover fabric for

 if we ever have a granddaughter. 

Now, of course, if we 

do get a granddaughter, 

any quilt made for her will 

be made from Tilda fabric! LOL!

Exciting News!

When we got back from our Kimberley trip, 

Austin and Paris gave us this bottle of champagne.

Best fine print we've ever seen!

We are going to be grandparents! YAY!

Last month we had a "Parents To Bee" baby shower.

I made this tummy time quilt for the baby.

My lovely quilter Leanne squeezed me in so I could 

have it finished in time for the shower. 

I think Austin and Paris were surprised that I'd 

had time to make one before the baby shower as I'd been

very busy with the quilt show and going away.

I found this gorgeous poodle and thought it was perfect. 

The green is the colour of the nursery with a poodle theme.

How cute is the quilting!

A Baby Quilt Plus Two More!!

I have a niece expecting and it was her baby 

shower last Saturday. As they don't know what they are

 having I made the quilt for either a boy or girl.

I bought a few metres of this Australian animal fabric last year. 

I thought it was very cute with kangaroos, wombats and echidnas.

The fabrics aren't really showing up well, 

they are more gelato colours.

When I was going through my photos I realised

 that I hadn't posted about the twin baby quilts 

I made last year for my lovely next door 

neighbour Chelsea's baby shower. 

It was a couple of days before we left 

for our big WA road trip 

and I just didn't get a chance to blog about them.

They now belong to Bernard and Eugene.

The colour shows up better in this photo.

I bound one quilt in green and the other in yellow

so boys will know which one is theirs.

Noel and I often have the boys for an hour or so 

to give Chelsea a bit of a break. 

They are nine months old now. 

We had them for a whole day a couple of weeks ago. 

I don't know how Chelsea does it on her own! 

That's Chester, their dog. 

We took him for a walk too as he doesn't get out much!

This is Bernard.

And this is Eugene.

Our favourite neighbours!

 (sorry Chelsea and David!)

A Small Finish

 

I saw this gorgeous flannelette and had to buy it! 

We have a new great nephew due next month so 

I made a bunny rug to add to the baby shower gifts. 

I used this check flannelette to back it with.

 

Now to wait for the little man's arrival!

A Baby Quilt

 

Now that it has been gifted, I can show you the baby quilt I made. 

I found this cute giraffe fabric and it was perfect 

as we didn't know the gender of the baby. 

As it turned out, we have a new great nephew, Jack.Inspector Rex gave his approval.

 

 

Friday Night With Friends

 Last night I finished the binding on the second baby quilt. 

Sorry for the terrible photo. It is such a cold, dark 

and dreary day here today. It also needs a press. 

Will try to get a better photo another day.

 A close up of the fabrics. 

This is another quilt-as-you-go as is the one I finished on Tuesday.

Thank you to Chez for hosting us. 

You can see what others got up to here.

Finally A Finish!

It's the end of June and I've finally had my first finish for 2020! 

This is a baby quilt for my niece and her husband 

who are expecting very soon.

As they don't know the gender of the baby, 

I've made one to suit either boy or girl. 

The photos don't do it justice as the colours are 

actually more vibrant, especially the peacock blue. 

A Quilt For Billie

I realised I hadn't shared my finished baby quilt. 

It was made for our newest member of the family, Billie. 

I've called it "Scrumptious" as I used a charm pack of Scrumptious 

by Bonnie and Camille. I added other B&C fabrics so there are no two 

prints the same as I had enough different ones to avoid duplication. 

The photo doesn't really show the colours very well.

In February 2018 my great nephew Darcy was born with heart problems. 

After putting up a great fight for 167 days, 

Darcy grew his angel wings on 4th August 2018. 

This is big sister Thea, introducing her and Darcy's baby sister. 

Billie Darcy Mae, born 8th August 2019.

A New Baby Quilt

This baby quilt was made for our new great niece, Remi Moira. 

She was in a hurry and arrived six weeks early.

I wasn't sure the baby was going to be so I chose fabrics for 

the quilt suitable for either a boy or girl.

I did this one quilt-as-you-go. It's the first time I've made 

a quilt with this method and it won't be the last! 

I'll share the other baby quilt I have made soon!

A Finished Quilt!

I finally had a finish last month but didn't get a chance to show you! 

So I'll put this down as an early October finish.

This is the baby quilt I made for my flower girl, Michelle's baby shower. 

Lovely and bright. So out of my comfort zone!

 

 I just quilted around the squares.

 Found this great fabric for the binding.

Krystina (right) and Michelle were my gorgeous flower girls.

Here they are all grown up at Michelle's wedding last year.

 Meet Madelyn Christina. 

Born about two weeks early on 30th September.
