Quilts and bunnies

I've been meaning to post for a long time but firstly my camera didn't work and then I couldn't find the time to sit down in front of the computer..... I'm sooo behind in my blog reading too! Anyway, today the sun shone brightly and it was perfect for photographing so here we go......


Finally, my first quilt. Actually, it didn't take too long, considering I waited until most classes to work on it. I did a little bit of work on it in between lessons, but most of it was done in class. It was a great first quilt to make as it didn't take long, and yet I learnt so much about quilting. Now I just have to learn how to cut triangles......


Emily has started on her quilt, and I am hoping she finishes it soon as she seems very taken with mine and says she prefers it to our other lap blankets! I can see I'm going to have a fight on my hands tonight!

Julian and Louis both want their own quilts now as well, so I'm going to be one busy mumma. Luckily I'm quite taken with the quilting process and I'm happy to keep going. Right now I'm making one for mother's day and I also have plans to make a picnic rug from the beautiful jelly roll I got recently.


Secondly - Happy Easter! Okay, I know it was ages ago, but I got my Easter swap after Easter and this is the first chance I have had to post about it. My gorgeous bunny pillow was made for me by Leah. It is such a clever design and it's so beautifully made. I'm very impressed (and slightly embarassed by what I sent her now!! - lol). The front is appliqued with felt and the back is this absolutely gorgeous funky fabric.

I also got this beautiful handmade card and some chocolates.

I would show you the chocolates, but I needed a little energy before hitting the gym.......and the rest is history! They were yummy though and I did share them with the kids.

Emily has been very busy lately. She was a little envious of the swaps I have been participating in so she organised her own. She made some softies and swapped a whole lot of other things with Lily whose mother is from Vintage Pleasure. The parcel was sent last Wednesday (finally) and so hopefully Lily will be getting it soon. Once we are assured that Lily has the parcel, then Emily can post about it.
And, as I mentioned earlier - she has started on her quilt (same design as mine, different fabric). Hopefully she will have the top done soon so we can show you photos.

Well, the afternoon is drawing to a close and it's time to get organised for the evening ahead - dinner needs to be cooked, dishes done etc....... so I will leave it here.

Hope everyone is happy and well!
