Another Baby Quilt monkeying around

Jen has been on our Design Team for a few years now. We were delighted when she announced at our first retreat last March that she was pregnant and even more so when baby B was born last October. Hard to believe that a year has passed and he celebrated his first birthday earlier this month. Because I'd made Abigail a quilt, how could I not make one for B??

This is another charm pack from Adornit - this time their Buckaroo Stack in Blue. I backed it using a remnant bought at the Quilt Show this Summer (brown with tiny blue dots - perfect for this quilt!) and bound using black Michael Miller Ta Dot. Simple stippling quilting all over in white.

And when Jen mentioned that B was having a Monkey party - well, I couldn't resist making a sock monkey for him now could I??!

My two cheeky monkeys saw me making this and wanted to make their own..............more on that another day!

Must go - Ross' 40th tomorrow & his chocolate cake is baking in the oven - nothing like leaving things 'til the last minute!

A Vintage Groove

I purchased these fabrics waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in January at CHA in LA from Adornit - a Company I have known and loved since my first trip to CHA (that time in Las Vegas) in January 2006. They have grown and grown as a company from simply papercrafts & scrapbooking products to adding the most wonderful fabrics to their products range. They have been sitting patiently waiting for me to upload them to the shop & do something with them.

The perfect opportunity arose when Laura, one of the newest members to our Design Team, gave birth to a beautiful bouncing & healthy baby girl last week.

Browsing Lynz's blog the other week reminded me of this pattern by Elizabeth which I last made for our baby Elizabeth last year (!!) So, I made it again for Laura & Will & baby Abigail

What I love about this pattern is that it can be made with a charm pack and some solids for sashing. It's a great size for floor time or using with the pushchair.

Simply backed with some MME fabric in hot pink to emphasise the fact that this quilt was made for a baby girl. Bound by Michael Miller Garden Pindot in cocoa.

Lots more sewing going on here and more projects to show (I hope) in the next few days!
