I figured out how to get the pictures in! I tried a little while ago and I couldn't get them to load. but here they are at last. I am very happy with the results.
This is a quilt for baby Owen. I think every little guy and gal should have a comfy spot for tummy time, which I understand is not pleasant for some. This finished up at about 45"x45" and has already had the seal of approval by wee Owen himself!
I made a dolly quilt for Owen's big sister Allison. I didn't want her to feel left out. I put it together using the scraps I held on to from Allison's tummy time quilt and Owen's, (yes I plead guilty to being a scrap rat, which is like a pack rat only the bits and bobs I keep aren't shiny). It finished up at 14"x14".
I have a collection of teddies that I bought for a screaming deal, so I gave them each one to go with their blanket.
I am happy to report that Allison promptly claimed both teddies and took turns naming them and tucking them in the toy quilt for a nap!
It has been a busy few weeks. I am back at work after a long convalescence from surgery. I have started a new acting class, that is a blast so far. And last but certainly not least, I am preparing to move in with my sweetie!
On the crafting front, My Renaissance Fair-ing sweetheart is in need of a new gambeson. So my mum and I, (with some help from the man himself) are putting together a very posh one!
A gambeson, as I had explained to me a few days ago, is a quilted, long-sleeved tunic that is worn under chain-mail armour. I am hard at work today quilting the individual pieces of it with a celtic knot-work motif......what was I thinking?! It is going to look awesome when it is finished, but oi! Why do the really creative ideas always wind up being so very labour intensive?
