This one is especially for Cadi. It's the pincushion I got in the pincushion swap. How cute! And we didn't know who we were making for, so the fact that it's a chicken (and I'm slightly mad about chooks) is serendipity.
Here is the quilt I made that provided the scraps for my little bassinet quilt I showed you a few posts ago. A simple and effective (and QUICK) way to use a jelly roll. Except it's not needed for it's original purpose now. I have a spare quilt...crazy unusual for me!
I've made two wee bassinet quilts from the scraps now (I'm addicted to no-snit machine binding!). And I don't know what's going on with my eye. I think I'm grimacing at having my photo taken - you just don't get the whole grimace effect, just a wonky wink instead!
And another bassinet quilt for the maternity unit (yup, more machine binding). I love being able to use up my scraps or extra blocks like this. These are leftover from the quilt I made for my new nephew.
What a sweet chook pincushion. Thanks for posting it at my request. What a "coincidence." - It was destined to be yours.
ReplyDeleteI love the wee lil' quilts you are making for the maternity unit. Hospitals usually look so sterile and white. What a lovely splash of color. Your quilts don't seize to amaze me. Such an eye for color you have. One day I'll knock on your door demanding to be taught! :-)
The bassinet quilts are gorgeous - so inspiring. I need to finish Miss Nearly 3's birthday present, and this might give me the inspiration to do it. Love the chook - how appropriate!
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on blog reading after a couple of weeks away from the computer. My, my you have been so productive - in blog posts, in crafting and in planting!!!! Love the quilt you are holding up. What a great pohutakawa tree in your post about the walk. I had a love walk similar up in Waihi Beach when we lived there for a while - oh how I miss it!!! x
