This is baby quilt is a commission for Louisa as a gift for a brand new baby boy. The patchwork, appliquéd owl sits in the midst of 'branches' keeping it safe as it has a snooze!

Festive Liberty Knickers Ladies!

Happy New Year!

It has been a while since I've updated my blog: becoming pregnant, a trip to New York with a proposal and then Christmas has kept me busy! But the new year has seen a refreshed urge to sew and two big projects are full steam ahead. Unfortunately as they're gifts I can't show them until later in the year -so watch this space!

I did manage to make some small gifts for friends this Christmas:



These lovely ladies (with Liberty Knickers!) are pen holders - hopefully they'll inspire some wise words or interesting doodles!

Blue & Green Scrappy Quilt, a set on Flickr.

This quilt has bought together some of my favourite scraps I've been saving. The blue and green strips and square detail on the back includes Liberty, Amy Butler & Kaffe Fassett fabrics. The hand sewn blue lines and vintage white fabric create the softest most snuggly quilt - perfect for a little baby boy! The quilt measures 85x120cm - just right for a pram, cot, play mat or wall hanging. All it needs is a new home! If you'd like it for yourself or as a gift just get in touch!

I've been a bit quiet recently - mainly due to a broken bobbin winder! Luckily all is fixed now and my trusty sewing machine looks set to last another 20+ years! I have managed to finish off two more Sleep Tight baby quilts for Nina's imminent arrival and my cousin Anna's new boy Jack. Hope both enjoy!

This foxy lady is a gift for Holly who is one tomorrow! Made from felt and Liberty scraps, i've framed it to make a present that's a bit different to the usual pink plastic!

A Bag for Wilf

Wilf is starting a new nursery - and to make a good impression he's having a new bag!
The front uses some lovely material from American designer Heather Ross's latest range.
And the back has more Heather Ross prints with some spots and gingham!

I hope he likes!
