Jumping in quickly for a very short and sweet catchup ... life is just full of the mundane everyday stuff this month but there is some sewing going on behind the scenes.
End of last year I was asked if I would make a double bed quilt for a 7 year old girl ... butterflies/pinks/purples ... the design is whatever I come up with but I think it's coming together slowly. These are 4 of the 14 x 12.5" butterfly blocks and I have 10 x 6.5" butterfly blocks ready to sew today.
I've also been watching the Winter Olympics and finished off these 2 card holders while watching some bobsledding ... they'll find their new home with the other grandsons.
It's just occurred to me that I haven't shared my latest blog book. After blog2print closed down I wasn't sure where to go next as I love having my blog books on the shelf to browse through from time to time. Occasionally the kids will look through them and 'remember when'. I had looked around and not followed through on anything so last month I 'bit the bullet' and placed an order with PixxiBook ... you can't edit as much as you could with blog2print and hardcover is the only option but I am still very happy with the end result.
Well that's my short, sweet update ... there's another load of washing to peg out ... cuppa to make and then it's back to those butterflies.
Have a great week.
Cute butterflies 🦋 and they’ll make a perfect quilt for a 7yr old.
