My granddaughter's party dress



Here is a little dress I made for my granddaughter when she was 3 months old.  I found the pattern on Annie's sewing site.  It ties on the shoulders.

A going away gift


This quilt belongs to a young girl who was in our Sunday School but moved  from Australia to England last year.  Each of the other children drew a picture for her on fabric,  the fabric  was passed onto me and I made this.  It was presented to her on their last day.
Part of my back garden is in the background,

Teddies that surf and kitties that swim


This is a floor rug that I made for my new granddaughter.  As the title says, it has lots of cats and teddies.  The backing has a rabbit scene stripe, very colourful.
I have been working on a large Storm at sea Quilt for quite a long time and still haven't completed it.
This is part of it but I had to turn it sideways. It is 60" X 30.  The lower half of the other side has since been added and I am planning to put a Mariners Compass in the top right corner.  I was planning to give it away.

Here is a quilt that I saw in American Patchwork and quilting, but in a different colorway.  I chose navy so it would suit a boy or man as there are no flowers anywhere.

Strippy, Oh so easy

Hi
After all this time I have at last had my computer fixed (where the blog is concerned)/  This is a quilt I made that I found in one of the American Patchwork & Quilting magazines.   There is a black and white one at the quilter's.
