I honestly have no idea where I found the time in the last week, but between trips to the GP, mountains of washing, never ending to do lists and general life with two children I did squeeze in time to lay out all the squares for the cot bed quilt that I am making. It was a rare few minutes with no one else above the age of one at home so twitter was my assistant and the lovely Helen from Crumbs and Pegs provided a great bit of advice on the layout based on a series of photos that I tweeted. Technology really does have its uses.
I'm still really pleased with the fabrics in my charm pack and everyone that I've shown the layout to so far seems to have liked it. It was actually much harder than I expected it to be. Some people just have teh nack of getting this sort of thing right first time, but I'm not sure I'm one of those people.
I've now got all my squares in piles ready to sew as per the next set of instructions. I just need to make the time to get the sewing machine out!
That looks great Penny. I am keeping my kids clothes in the hope that *one* day I will have time to make a keepsake out of them
I have boxes and boxes of old clothes that Im planning to do crafty things with. Mr C jokes that I could retire tomorrow and just knit and sew and still not get through everything I have planned before I die!
Well done you the quilt looks great. I have a quilt I made when I was about 16 and I love it when the kids and dogs are al curled up on the sofa under it on the weekend watching movies. It makes me feel all warm inside.
It looks absolutely lovely. I never have a courage to do one. Love crochet, that seems easier for me!!! well done, i love it:)
