Gifts

The gorgeous and wonderfully talented Natalie gave birth this week to a beautiful little girl Cheriese. Natalie is a great on-line friend I met through the Essential Baby Sewing Group. I feel privileged to know this group of talented women, some I have met but many others I haven't.


As Natalie has received it I can now post pictures. I made a roll up quilt for Cheriese so Natalie could take it with her and put it on the floor for Cheriese when she is out and about. It is by no means perfect and there were many firsts in this quilt (hand quilting and I made my own binding) but I loved sitting on the couch and sewing it each night. (not the best photos sorry but it was a hurried one on the way out the door so I could post it).

Another package was also received today so I can blog this one as well. The lovely Adds recently sent me a great package with fabric, heaps of magnetic snaps she got for a song, some books and some pants for Lucy. Her daughter Cate loves Dalmations so there were a couple of 100 and 1 Dalmation books in there as well as Cate was after some magnets. So of course I obliged. I also made her a pencil/notepad holder and glued it into the cover of one of the books, some little notepads with pages from the books as the cover and sewn down the middle. I then got one of the pictures, enlarged it and traced it onto some Vilsofix and made a dalmation tshirt. Naturaly it was all packaged in a bag made from some lovely fabric from Corrie. Of course there was also some Katie Jump Rope fabric for Adds (not that she needs any more fabric).


Probably should have ironed the tshirt (sorry Adds)
