Anna Griffin "Lizzie" quilt

Decided in the end to keep adding to my "Lizzie" quilt. This is the result of a full day of crafting with two very good friends. I am absolutely loving the fabric and intend to keep adding to it until I run out of this beautiful fabric.

Anna Griffin "Lizzie" fabric quilt

Added the final border and now just looking at backing fabric, thinking something yellow so I can finish it. I really love this fabric, going to see if I have enough left in my stash to make another quilt like this one. If not It'll go into my pile of scraps to be used in one big multicoloured quilt.

Next project has to be the dinosaurs but I need to see how I can best use that to make the most of the design.  I might have to order some extra, plainer fabric that co-ordinates with the dinosaurs as it is very busy fabric with lots of detail to it.

Mermaid quilt

And finally these are the fabrics I have for the mermaid quilt. I've bought it from several different websites, shops and shows (as I'm finding the coordinating fabric to be hard to find). I can't wait to get started on this quilt, it's all so pretty! I'm really happy with all the colours, just got to figure out the best way to put it all together to make the best of the fabric.

Dinosaur Quilt

This is one of my bigger up coming projects. One of Jessie's friends is turning four in the summer and as any typical little boy is, he is obsessed with dinosaurs. I'm going to use this fabric to make him a little quilt. I'm assuming I'm going to need a bit more fabric than I've got here but I'm going to play it by ear and see what I need as I make it, especially since I have the thick border (bottom right) to go round the outside of the quilt.

Because I was bored

A mixture of insomnia and boredom last night meant I couldn't sleep so I took advantage and made this. It's made with the Anna Griffin fabric collection called 'Lizzie'. Not sure if I'll make it bigger or turn it into a toddler quilt similar to the one I made for Jessie but we shall see. I have two bigger projects (which are coming up in later blog posts) which might mean this one has to take a back seat! However we shall see.

Making cakes with Jessie!

 Been making cakes with Jessie today! She loves absolutely loves cooking, in fact she loves doing anything she thinks only grown ups do!!!

I subscribed to the Dora Explorer little cooks collection for her today and this is all from issue one! Banana muffin recipe, silicone cake cases and a Dora plate.

Needless to say she loved it and can't wait to eat them after dinner! She even helped make the actual dinner and wash up from making the cakes too!

Tilda Quilt

I've been working on this quilt for a little over a year now. I really love all the Tilda fabrics. My favourite is the current boarder (turquoise with pink birds). I say current border because I wanted this to be a double sized quilt. However it's gotten to be the right size for a single and I think it looks really good the way it is and I'm not sure whether to add more to it or not.Opinions and suggestions on this are much appreciated!
