Colour My World!

I was inspired by Angela @ Cut to Pieces to make ......

this!

A friend's little girl is celebrating her first birthday soon and I thought this would make the cutest gift.

Firstly, this is what I made for Ava when she was born....

I loved scrambling through my stash looking for fabric......

(And my stash is SO big, I haven't made a dint in it with this little project) 

I also enjoyed fussy cutting some pieces for extra interest.......

"Sunshine yellow each day....."

"The green from the grass and blue from the sky up above...."

I found some great 'number' fabric in my stash too.

I certainly learnt a great deal during the construction process.

And it will be easy to throw in the wash when it gets dirty (chewed?)

And I couldn't resist colouring your day with Pet!

"....colour my world with happiness!"

So much to do... So little time!

I kinda scared myself in my last post when I realised that I had 7 'projects' on the go at the moment!

And these are just the ones I want to think about.

I don't count quilt tops which are waiting to be quilted either!

(Shhh! There are 6 of those!)

So over the last few days I have made a list....

And prioritized according to whether it had a deadline AND if it was machine or hand sewn.

Finished the binding on this placemat.....

It doesn't have a home yet.

 Started my pincushion for the Flick'r swap......

And as I've already received mine, thought it was about time!

I am pretty happy with this little pair of scissors I designed and embroidered!

Stippled/Meandered the border of my pram quilt....

Gosh, I make my stippling CLOSE together!

I like the effect, but, boy, it takes ages!

And I made a few more of these.....

So now they are "Works in Progress"....

Rather than "Works Stagnating!"

Humpty Dumpty looks pretty happy about that...

He's wishing you a Happy Weekend AND Happy Sewing!
