excitement has been building...

Its been half term here this week which has had a huge impact on my sewing plans but hey-ho, I've been able to spend lots of time with 'Little Miss H' and 'Master M'!

The one thing I have managed to complete is my Sherbet Pips quilt and yesterday the sun was shining so I was able to get a couple of good photo's of it draped over the tiny balcony that comes off our living room!!! 


This quilt is the first one I've made just for me and I adore it! I followed the instructions from Fat Quarterly, its John's Confetti Quilt pattern, the only thing I changed was the addition of the embroidered panel. The girl on a swing pattern is from Aneela Hoey who also designed the fabric line Sherbet Pips too!!


I've also managed to complete 6/24 required blocks for the Seuss quilt I'm making 'Master M' and have prepped my Swoon block #6!

Must dash now as I'm heading out to collect my flannel quilt from the long arm quilter - I'm beyond excited!! 

Have a great weekend!!

  1. gorgeous!!! i love it!!

    I have never made a quilt, but i really want to. I have saved all my sons humphrey corner clothes from a baby up until now, so i'm hoping to cut them up and make them into a keepsake quilt xx

  4. Lovely! Ive just washed a pips layer cake and intend start a quilt next week. The colours are just fab. I love girl on a swing. The embroidery panel looks brilliant. Im eyeing up Aneelas A walk in the woods at the moment too. I think I might like it just as much as pips.x
