Twinny Quilts
In January of this year, I pledged a handmade quilt as a raffle prize for a forum I used whilst expecting my youngest son, Arthur.
The lady who won it is FABULOUS and I was pregnant at the same time as her - but she had double the joy when she gave birth to two handsome and adorable little boys, Henry and Archie.
I said I would make her a quilt each for the boys, to snuggle in their pram.
I got off to FLYING START!
....Then it all kind of came undone, one thing after another with home, suppliers of fleece, ribbon, you name it - and it shamefully fell by the wayside.
Bless the mama though, she has been so, so, SO patient with me - and last month I finished ONE quilt. *shameface*
They have both turned out MUCH bigger than I had originally planned... I don't know why I get so carried away when making them and they end up huge - probably because I always do a patchwork middle then piece on a border, which is inevitably massively bigger than it should be... oh well!
Here, is Archie's ....

Our house it has a crowd...
... there's always something happening, and it's usually quite loud.
In reality I fit very little sewing, quilting and crafting into my everyday life. So a blog dedicated solely to that was probably a little ambitious on my part!
There are 5 children to chase about after, and we're on the eve of the long Summer holidays - which will probably bring lots of mini-projects with the kids, but nothing on a particularly elaborate scale.
Anyway, too much else goes on here I'd like to blog about - so while you can expect the odd post about quilty-goodness and crafty sewy things, I think I'll morph my blogspace into a little more about 'Us'
.... Promise (again!) to catch up later!
