Spot the error!

While I was on the phone with hubby last night, I noticed an error I made in the assembly. My first impulse was to scream but I was too shocked and only stared. Which is a good thing because I noticed what actually went wrong. Rows 1 and 2 from the top are meant to be rows 3 and 4 and vice versa. Easily fixed, day saved!

AmandaJean's Figgy Pudding Quilt

In case I get bored over Christmas - and find some lovely light green fabric - I might make this Figgy Pudding Quilt.

Very excited to resume the Objects

Now that the Emergency Quilt is finished and ready to be shipped off, I can focus all my quilting energy on Caroline's Objects. Currently, I have no idea of what the backing will be like ... and I'm already worrying about stippling the whole thing.

Now if I didn't have to write 30+ Christmas cards and wrap a gazillion of pressies ...

Ready to be shipped!

This may well be the last post boring you with this little quilt. Evidently, I am very much in love with it and hoping that the recipient will be too. If she is too little to appreciate crafts (fair assumption that at four weeks, she might be), I'm hoping her mum will love it for her.

If you want me to tell you how I made this quilt, let me know. It was super-easy, fast and fun!

Straight from the washer-dryer

The experiment worked quite well: the quilt came out of the washer-dryer and looks nicely wrinkled and cuddly. Now I just need to clean up a few loose strands and it's ready to be shipped to its recipient. She is - thankfully - doing a lot better these days!
