FINISHES FOR MAY

I have been very slack and forgot to post my finishes for the last few months.
But here is what I got done in May!!!
Just 2 small projects, I think there was a 3rd but I forgot to take a photo.

A place mat for the flickr placemat swap.









A little bag with some hadn stitching and some prarie points that I gave away on the recent giveaway day.









HUUUUUGE APOLOGIES to the monthly finish organisers for forgetting to write to them over the past few months about my non-attending, but I am back on track now and will not be that slack again.

I AM AN AUNTY!!!!

BLOGGERS QUILT FESTIVAL

It is the 3rd Bloggers quilt festival
and I have chosen a quilt very dear to my heart to share with you.

This is a quilt that I made for my Dear little boy Sam.

This is Sam when he had just turned 2.






I specifically purchased a "Silly Safari" Jelly Roll to make him a quilt for when he went into a single bed.
I used a pattern from a Jelly Roll book and I was worried that it was too bright and wouldn't promote a restful sleep so I surrounded it with the medium blue sashing and the dark blue borders and backing.
Now some of you may be thinking that the borders are so big and it looks a little odd but it fits so perfectly on his bed. The coloured bit sits perfectly on the top of the bed and the dark blue provides a perfect amount of overhand so that it covers him totally even when he rolls around (which he tends to do alot).

I was quite heavily pregnant when I was making this quilt as Sam was 2 in April 09 and Jess was born March 09 and I wanted to get it done before I went to hospital.
The quilting is very simple. I quilted in the ditch around the log cabins and then some wavy FMQ on the large borders. It's not the best FMQ and I have learnt alot since then but he loved it and he moved into his "Big Bed" in February 2009 without a whimper.

This quilt also won 1st place in it's category at our local show, don't get too excited it's a very small show but it wasn't the only quilt in it's category so I was happy, I got the news in hospital after having Jess so it was a celebration all around.

So that's my quilt, thank you to anyone who stops by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the festival.

Anyone who is waiting to hear about my SMS Giveaway's please stay tuned, I am waiting for the kids to wake up so I can get all the goodies together and take a photo.
