Progress

I'm feeling pretty chuffed tonight.

The girl has been sick for a couple of days :( and in between bouts of vomiting and piles of washing, I've been sewing, while she's rested and dozed on the couch, poor thing.

And I've made real progress on Georgia's quilt.

The top is just about complete. I'll pop into Spotlight to buy some fabric for the boarder, binding and backing then move into quilting mode.

The split 9 patch came together quickly. It will look gorgeous in the cot.

The girl's much better tonight and is on a promise of seeing Mama Mia tomorrow, if she's well enough. We both need an outing after a couple of days of going stir crazy!

Georgia's Quilt

Georgia Louise, my niece, is 5 weeks old and as sweet as sweet as can be. I'm making a cot quilt for this angel.

The cutting out is done and the first stage of the sewing is complete. Phew!
It's a split 9 patch quilt - something Í haven't done before but it looks easy enough (I think) and the effect means it looks a lot more complicated than it really is.

I've made 12 x9 patch squares and now I need to cut them in half, then re-piece the quilt in whatever fashion I like, then sew it all together.

I made a quilt a couple of years ago for Eliza ... and it looks so sweet on her bed.

It's quilted with hearts because it was made with love .... ahhhhhh.
