Letter to My Daughter

 Due to some hard work by my friend Fiona @bubzrugz I was able to gift my dear daughter her quilt on her birthday. Even though much complaining and some tweaking about the assembly of this quilt, it meant a lot to stitch it for her.

I enjoyed working in the brighter palette for a change and I think all the brighter Tildas worked well.


Fiona's quilting made it shine!

Dear Daughter with her quilt.....I nabbed her fresh from the shower lol!

Of course being a birthday there had to be cake.....Belgian chocolate cake.....her Dad's favourite.....to include him in the celebration x
BTW I think I was somewhat clever giving birth to a little woman on International Womens Day *wink!
As my main objective was to get the binding on that quilt done I have now only gotten back to Gossip in the Garden with Fiona. I completed this easy "Daisy in a Teacup" block.....very hard to get a good photo.....its so skinny and long! 
It is lovely in real life. I am also working on the second stitchery for Owl and Hare with Lorel but nothing really to show there. 
Another spool roll has been calling to me.....I wanted to stitch a Christmas one and as I had it already cut out and prepped I dove right in!
First page is "snowy" and before all the Aussie......we don't have snow at Christmas....begin to tutt.....I LOVE snowmen and so I am having snowmen lol!
Always feels good to free those little treasures from their tins and drawers and create something with them. The doiley half I retrieved was a collar from a dolly I had made way back when and who was damaged and couldn't be saved.....I like that!
Well friends the day is closing in and as I have actually cooked.....yes you heard that right....I made a pot of tasty bacon, potato and carrot soup and I have a fresh, crusty roll to go with it.....I am going to enjoy it.
Leaving you with my two awesome little women of the future. 
Take care and hug your tribe.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  9. So clever to have daughter's birthday on IWD! The quilt is stunningly beautiful, and I love the palette. Your Christmas roll will be beautiful, and hope you show us as you roll along. I so love a snowflake and a few snowmen. My DD says the snow is so deep over there (half way up her laundry door, lol), that it will still be lying around in May when we arrive :) Darling little women of the future. Off to see my one and only granddaughter today. xxx

  12. I'm sure your daughter will always treasure such a beautiful quilt from her mother. There is so much love stitched into it. A very similar daisy block is in the Some Kind of Wonderful quilt as well. Have fun with your spool roll.

  13. Well done, Michelle! I had every intention to start Letter to My Daughter as well, but other stuff got in the way, so my daughter will never have one :-( But there are so many others to choose from!

  15. Your daughters quilt is absolutely beautiful Michelle & I agree - those brighter Tilda's worked well together. I love the one of her wrapped up in it. A gorgeous photo of her with her sons - they look like their Mum. Fiona's quilting is just wonderful. xx
