This weekend is my little niece’s birthday! I had in my mind that I’d make her a quilt…….of course life gets in the way and time is getting away from me. But I’ve decided a nice comfy quilt made from precut 10 inch squares will be perfect and I’ll hand stitch a few words in some of them. Well that’s the plan. I could be sewing on binding at 2am the morning of the party but I’m itching to make a quilt and my computer is set up in my craft room so I’m always surrounded by pretty fabric and sitting next to my machine.
Anyway, I had this crazy idea that if I laid out the squares just before school pick up when I had a quick 30 minutes and nothing to do then I could just close the door and start sewing at night.
Well first Elodie snuck in…………….
closely followed by emerson…..oh did I tell you he is walking everywhere. He is. And he is loving it. Some of the others have been a bit lazy but this guy is off and in a few days has mastered walking from one of the end of the house to the other and turning. He’s got it all going on and is fast.
look at his face……….mmmmmmmmmmmm let me at it while elodie was a bit more like mmmm what can I make with this………………………
fabric went everywhere and it was fun.
elodie walked it off into another room and I realised it’s probably best to do your fabric work with the door closed or keep it off the floor…………. a cutting table in the middle of my sewing room might be next on the cards.
So I need to start over again but it made for a fabulous photo opp in the afternoon light.
So funny. They are gorgeous, can’t believe how big Emerson is getting. Great photos with light coming through the windows. Elaina xo
I know! he’s huge! he’s a real toddler now, I don’t think I can call him a baby anymore
