It is a flannel quilt and very cute....the animal faces are quite charming....and IT IS FINISHED!!
There has also been progress on The Bitterest Flower cross stitch. I only have the basket at the bottom to do. It will be finished by next month.
My husband and I went to the Royal Easter Show today. This is remarkable because my husband went with me. He really only wanted to see the wood chopping, which is a very small part of what is on offer at the Show. (This event is a Sydney institution of rides and animals, agriculture generally, sugar, deep fried carbohydrate, fat and general fun and lots of money changing hands). But husband actually went and looked at a few other exhibits as well....some horses and some cows (complaining of the smell all the way). He did insist on sitting at the wood chopping while I went to the Arts and Crafts and saw amazing quilts and knitting and such. Rather inspiring they were. Watched a woman from the Spinners and Weavers Guild spinning with a drop spindle. She made it look quite easy.....must go and find the spindle I bought and give it another go. It would be a big investment of time if you were intending to make a jumper that way though.
I hope all you Wipocalypse projects are progressing well and that you all have a peaceful Easter!!
LOVE this quilt and your stitching is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you....will have to get a picture of the baby - Sienna in her new quilt
DeleteThat quilt is just too cute!! What a lucky baby. Your cross stitch piece is really lovely. Sounds like the Royal Easter Show is like our State fairs - lots of fun and fried food - LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes it would be the same as a State Fair....top rung of the agricultural shows (which of course have become completely commercialised - some people go and never actually see an animal, except by accident). But if you win at the Royal it is the bees kneez!!
DeleteWOW!!! I Adore your little quilt! It is gorgeous! ^_^
ReplyDeletep.s.I'm nominating you for the Liebster Award! Hooray!!! http://thecraftypixie777.blogspot.ca/
