New additions

Today we picked up two new additions to our family; Petal and Fox!












Ostensibly for the kids, although MrMoo and I are quite smitten too.

Daily creativity

I'm trying to include a little bit of creativity into my every day life. Today is all about handstitching...

Doll Quilt Swap progress

I naively signed up to the doll quilt swap round 10 over on flickr. Now, there is no way that I would call myself a quilter but it is something I'd like to get better at. I have plans to make quilts for the kids and have made a couple of baby quilts as gifts. I decided that signing up to a swap where I just had to produce a mini quilt was the ideal way to start.

As the swap has progressed I have been constantly amazed with the talent of the group members. I have at times felt overwhelmed by their ability and my corresponding inability! They are such a supportive group though that I do feel my confidence has increased ten-fold as a result of the positive feedback I have recieved along the way.

Here's a little photo story of my progress...

Cutting...



Selecting...



Layout...



Stitching...



Embroidery...



And now I just have the quilting, binding and labelling left and I'll be done!

Me again!

Wow, how time flies! I'm hoping that being able to use my iPhone (how did we manage before these things) will make it easier for me to update my blog. I'll be back with a proper post soon but until then I'll leave you with some pictures of what I've been making!
