The hand quilting of my Trade Winds quilt continues. It's taking a while, but these things can't be rushed. So apart from that, there is not much sewing news to report.
But there have been a few other 'makes' of a different kind, including this basket of gifts that my friend Suzy and I put together for our friend Emma's baby shower.

We decided on a 'mum to be' theme and the basket was filled with treats such as bubble bath, chocolate, eye gel, moisturiser, bath bubbles and a craft magazine. As if there will be time to read the magazine once the baby comes! Oh and she has a nearly 3 year old too, so I think making things will be on the back burner for a while!
In other news, my daughter has to complete a page of a scrapbook for preschool every weekend. And it was my job to help (ok, do) the front cover.
And the back cover too.
It's just as well I covered it in stiky back plastic. Because I stupidly put it on the roof of the car in the school car park and drove off. After 2 hours I realised and thought it was going to be lost forever. Panic ensued and following a frantic return to the school, someone had very kindly rescued it and put it in my daughters's tray. Some of the empty pages had tire marks on them - it had clearly been driven over, but thankfully it was nothing too serious. Phew!! Lesson learnt - never put anything on the roof of the car, not even for a minute!!
Oh wow, Sarah. That cover is too darling. Those pictures of your little girl are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at you - leaving it on the roof! now that sounds like something I would do.
That is something I would do. I would be lucky to remember it on the same day. Thanks for sharing that little story.
