Summer quilting project - halfway

Image
Halfway through the summer, already! Slow down! Also, halfway through the 'table runner' project.  That should say table runner s though as there were just enough half square triangles to make two.  They'll go across the table rather than lengthwise.  I can't wait to have them finished and dress the table :) That leaves choosing a backing fabric, buying some wadding and pondering about binding colours.  It means a little pause this week whilst that gets sorted.

Claire's quilted blanket

Claire's birthday came and went back in July .  I did warn her that my light bulb moment had come a bit late (after her birthday) and that it would take a little while to sort out.  She had seen O's 'all boy' quilt and Martha's play mat and liked them both.  So why it took my brain so long to put one and two together I don't know!  Eventually realising she'd love something that combined Cath Kidston fabrics with a cottagey feel I started looking for the right things.  So I had to confess it might be a while before she got her birthday present.

Naast de mooie houten puzzel met de letters van zijn naam wilde ik ook zelf iets maken voor Lucas. Herinnert u zich dit ?  Ik kan eindelijk tonen wat die leuke stofjes geworden zijn!  Het werd geen vlaggenlijn  en ook geen dekentje, maar wel... ... tien beestjes en een mandje om alles netjes bij elkaar te houden.   Krokodil, (baby) ijsbeer, (baby) olifant, giraf, kangoeroe x2, zebra en tijger. Crocodile, (baby) polar bear, (baby) elephant, giraffe, kangaroo x2, zebra and tiger. We were invited to Lucas' first birthday party this weekend.  It was his naming day too (non-religious version of a christening) and my lovely hubby is now a proud guideparent! We chose to give him a beautiful natural woo...
