A few finishes


 My son's partner has asked me to make a baby quilt for his soon-to-be niece. I decided to use the first six blocks from the Sugar Block Club as they have the right sort of colours. I added a cute border with Russian dolls. I quilted it with flowers and hearts joined by meanders and will deliver it to them in a couple of week's time when we visit them. This photograph was taken yesterday which was wonderfully warm and sunny, a really perfect summer's day. Today it's raining and chilly again. And tomorrow is the longest day, so I do hope that's not the end of summer!


I've made this pouch for C to keep his cables and chargers in when we're away from home. I just hope it's big enough as he seems to take load of them with him!

Your baby quilt is so cute, what a great use for your blocks. I hope the pouch is big enough, if not, it'll give you an excuse to make him a set. Your quilting looks great, I'll bet you're finding it a bit easier with the big area on your new machine.

I love the baby quilt, that border fabric is darling. What a cute pattern. Fantastic little pouch, what interesting fabric.
The end of summer?!? I don't want to think about that.

I love the colours on the quilt- serene and fresh. Very pretty.
I'm always shocked at the number of cables one needs to cart around, its quite a nuisance- the pouch is a great idea, beats the endless plastic bags!

Your son is very lucky to have you able to make these fabulous creations for him. I do love the cable-charger bag. I use something very similar to that.
