Fred the Blog Dog is finished!

Well here he is and as I really like him I thought he could join me on my blog so he is Fred the Blog Dog with all embellishments complete....

I have drafted out a pattern for a squirrel and a pig - so I will try my hand at both in due course but now I think it is time for a change.

So back to UFOs, Farmer's Wife blocks and the plaid string quilt.............unless something else comes along of course!

A Quilt from my past!

I keep showing UFOs on this blog and I am a self-confessed procrastinator but I have finished a few things and I thought it was time I showed you something that just went together without any great problem - or at least none that I can remember.

Quite a time ago perhaps when my youngest was about 4 or 5 (she's 10 now) I made some banners for her birthday party - she was a big fan of Maisy mouse and so they reflected that.

The following year for her birthday I had eventually managed to sew the banners together to make this quilt!  So even then it did take quite a while to finish!

I loved making it - choosing the pictures, the fabric and putting it all together.  The back is made up of fabric that is in the quilt top.  This was all done before they made the printed fabric - oh it would be so easy now!...but not half so much fun.


And now it is waiting for the next Maisy fan in our little family - it may take some time but I'm waiting....actually I'm hoping it does take quite some time but for once I might be ready!
