So a pastel-y quilt for a friend and she has the honour of receiving my first attempt at fm swirls and curls...lucky for me she knows absolutely zilch about quilting so will not notice the rather extraordinary variation in stitch lengths I have going on there in places!
But, it's made with love and I think she will like it. I deliberately did an open-ish, sort of old fashioned quilting with it and it has stayed lovely and soft for her to snuggle under on the couch.
The second quilt is a denim rag quilt for my 3 year old grandson. His sister has a very girlie one and I promised him that if his mummy saved up all of daddys old jeans I would make him a "blokey" one. Bother it, wouldn't you know she did exactly that
and I am here to tell you...this little black duck aint ever going to sew another denim rag quilt..ever!
Anyhoo...both quilts turned out beautifully and I can't wait to see Mr.3year olds' face when he discovers I saved one of the jeans pockets on a patch and so now he has a secret pocket to stash his little cars in!
