A Day In The A Blue Mountains.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I welcome you to take your time and browse , visiting my bush garden and discovering the wonders of my city within a national park; Blue Mountains National Park. Via my blog you will travel with me through the successes, trials and tribulations of gardening on a bush block. I share with you my patchwork & quilting, knitting, paper crafts, cooking and life in general.

Day 174/366





Remember this?
Baby Jorja was born about four weeks ago.
We have yet to visit the family and their new addition.
By all accounts, she is a little angel.

Except for a few threads to be tied in, and the addition of a label, the quilt is ready for gifting.
I have machined the quilt myself, on my sewing machine, very simply, by sewing around each circle while sewing the flaps down to make the petals (and form the 'fake' cathedral windows).

I chose the fabrics on line and I was a little anxious about how true to life the fabrics appeared online.

Well, I couldn't be happier.  

My first online fabric purchase and the selection of fabrics couldn't have been better co-ordinated, I don't think.

Let's see if I can attach label and tie in threads before the end of the weekend!

Then it's a visit to little Jorja, hopefully next weekend (if Mr Honey Pie isn't rostered on at work).

    1. Hope you get to finish your baby quilt this weekend Leanne. Loved Abbey's quilt by the way.
      I found this pattern very easy. It's a Moda Bakehouse pattern available online. I made it a little larger than the original to accommodate a cot. But having said that my friend made one too and if I'd taken her advice I'd never have started mine since she had so much difficulty. Me? I'd make it again...yes...maybe even larger than this. Happy sewing!
