Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everybody!!

Did you get any crafty sewing in over the holidays?

I didn't dust mine down until New Years Eve,

the little bits I photographed today 

After purchasing super soft sunggly fleece,

I thought I would made some small quilted blankets for baby strollers, buggies and car seats.

This one is 18" x 27"

Made with 5" squares (4 x 6)

Hopefully will made great gifts for newborns!

And to match...

Baby burp cloths, I guess not your everyday one, but the posh ones you take out!

(match your outfit!)

I made a shaped pattern for the neck

These use 1/2 a FQ 9 x 18 before sewn. 

If you are interested in the pattern, let me know.

And I can scan in and upload for you to download... 

Same baby burp cloths in Tilda baby pinks and mint.

 These are backed in cotton towelling

I will be finishing a quilted blanket in this one too.

When I get my iron back..........

Hubby lent it to our young neighbour last night and hasn't been home since..

If you are also back to work tomorrow,

I will be there with you in the office for 8am.........

Strong coffee, I probably will be starving hungry all day from being able to pick at food

any-time in the last 10 days!

Finally Finished!!

Vintage Modern Hexagon Baby Quilt

Made from half hexagons

33" x 43"

in pinks, reds, aqua and grey

I desided to bind it in a dove grey plain binding

which matches the grey in some of the prints

I don't know if you can see

 but I straight line quilted it in pink

Little peek of the red spotty reverse!

And a better view of the reverse

the grey binding looks great with the red

Stitching close up.

 could wait to try out a half hexagon quilt on these fabrics,

Out of the 10 FQ fabrics I have used under half,

so i have enough for a doll quilt, cushion and some left for mixing it up with others.

It will be about 38" x 46" ish, once I have a white 2" frame around it, cot, lap or snuggle quilt,

But that's a job for another day.
