Oscar's imminent 2nd birthday

 

 

It's amazing to think it's been nearly two years since our first grandchild was born, time has flown and yet he's been here for such a long time. Oscar is so delightful, he makes your heart swell. He is like a sponge, takes it all in and amazes you with his knowledge.
Before he was born I started working on this quilt, we knew he would be a boy so selected 30's fabrics avoiding flowers and pinks. As Imogen (his Mum and my daughter) has always loved flying geese quilts it was an easy choice. Being the procrastinator I am I only had the top finished by the baby shower, but did manage to have it quilted and bound soon after he arrived on the scene. And what an arrival; he managed to be born at home (not planned) and delivered by his Papa!

Amish round-robin

Here are the four rows of 3 x 1" squares (known as postage stamp) that I stitched together for a round-robin quilt for my friend Irene. Just amazing colours, chosen to echo the Amish style centre.

Bold quilt

I enjoy creating quilts for my family. The part of the process I love the most is choosing the combination of fabrics. Sometimes you strike it lucky and the juxtaposition just sings! Lately I've been working on a quilt for Tess and Joe, it's going to be bold and fun, hope they like it.
