Butterflies and Ladybirds....
Her quilting makes this little butterfly look like it is fluttering! There are lots of beautiful quilted feathers.....appropriate I think.....just loved how it turned out!
As you can see I bound the quilt in matching gorgeous red spotty fabric which I used throughout the quilt!
I deliberately put all my favourite techniques in this quilt (much to the horror of my friends lol) lots of needleturn applique and English Paper Piecing and little bits of embroidery.
Would you like to see its very messy humble beginnings?
Most of my other sewing has been Christmas related and I can't show you yet. But I can show you the little ornies that I have made for my Grandies and yes I know they aren't very Christmasy but it's a little tradition that's just happened....to see what Nana comes up with and its fun! I love to see their faces.
So we have 2 dinosaurs for my Grandsons who are mad about them and have not outgrown them, I think Jurassic Park is to blame, 1 little black cat called Willow and a pink Christmas Angel.....
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
