my parents popped over yesterday and my Dad is always snap happy especially when he has a new camera! First up was my mum’s latest crochet project..I must get her on ravelry..this gorgeous blanket kept her mind off things when she was in hospital recently.
and my quilt..which sadly won’t be quilted this weekend as I need more fabric for the back!!!! boo hoo I was so close with my pieces but need slightly longer fabric for the back as its a large quilt! I’ll see how I go today.
neatly folded and lovely ginger blossom fabric by Sandi Henderson for my next project (I must finish the nicey jane quilt first before I start anything else)
me and my girls
and my beautiful Tillie…hmmmmmm I think I might like a new camera!!!
My Mum and I were talking about what I might like for my birthday next month (the big 3-4) but I really want a machine for quilting (juki 98P or janome 1600P), she said oh ok we’ll get that…um Mum they are over $1700…. so I’ll be getting a nice donation towards it!!! Now I just need to work on retro daddy!
Love your mums crochet blanket, so beautifully made. Great quilt cannot wait to see the new one with the lovely fabrics. What kinda new fabric is coming in February….. itching to see. Happy Quilting
Your Mum’s crochet is beautiful. Have you thought of doing a pieced section on the back of your quilt, that might make it stretch that little bit further. Its a good way of making backing out of narrow fabrics.
Your mother’s crochet is beautiful as everyone said but that photo of Tillie is absolutely gorgeous!!
hi Corrie, I bought a Janome 1600p about 9 months ago and I LOVE it, I got it for around $1200 through our local Janome store (Darwin). I have been enjoying your blog with all of your projects, thanks for sharing them.
Wow! Your Mum’s crochet is just gorgeous! I just bought a new camera yesterday and already I can see that the difference is amazing. One day and over a hundred photos already, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Hope you have a great Sunday.
Your Mum’s crocheted blanket is amazing, I love it…those little squares are beautiful.
I also love that photo of your daughter too, I would love a camera that can take shots like that too…
Hi Corrie, your mum’s work is beautiful, funny who so many sewing mummies pass it onto their daughters without us knowing!!
Well i’m leaving the big 3-4 to become the super sensible 3-5 in the next few weeks too. Feel like i should be all grown up?? 3-4 is still fun & silly, enjoy it!!
Love Posie
PS Kirsty mentioned her local Janome in Darwin – that is where i got my semi industrial machine in January sales, 4 years ago – excellent price!! They are really good there (Stuart Park NT) & the lady who served me had 5 children, she was so fabulous. Love Posie
You are definately going to have to get your mum onto ravelry Corrie, the blanket is gorgeous. Is she getting better now from her hospital visit. I really do hope so. Love the photos your dad too, and yes Tilly is just as beautiful as her big sister and her mummy! I think it is a good suggestion what Julie suggested for the back of the quilt too!
Tillie is so gorgeous
Oooh, that machine sounds great. Imagine all you could do with it!!
tilie is ADORABLE!!!!
The blanket and the quilt are beautiful. Your children are precious. Let us know if you actually finish before you start the next one.
Beautiful blanket, your mum is very talented! That last photo of your sweet little Tillie is so precious!
That last pic is simply stunning.
I’d so love a new camera too.

That blanket is stunning. Hope your mum is doing OK at the moment.
The Michael Miller boys print would also make a gorgeous play mat with all that “road” print to drive toy cars along…
wow I love the crochet, something I want to learn this year. Your quilt is gorgeous. I have a Janome 6600p, I got her 6 months ago and wouldn’t be without her now. Worth every cent.
Lovely photos. Your mum’s work is beautiful. Your girls are gorgeous. Good luck with Retro Daddy.
Oh my goodness! Kirsty is from Darwin!! So exciting!!

Great pictures and I just love your mum’s quilt. My mum hopes to make one too one day but at the moment she just practicing on small things.
