Angus is a very lucky boy, look what his Aunty Alison made for his first birthday

Christmas

I picked up this material from Spotlight the other day to make Angus a Christmas quilt. I am thinking about cutting up the blocks, putting a border around them and hand stitching. Has anyone got any other ideas that might work?

Bathroom

For the last two weeks we have been having a new bathroom put in. The light colours and clear screen have made the room look bigger.

Where has our baby gone ?

It's now official Angus has found his legs at 11 months.
Sewing can now only be done once he has gone to bed.

Josie's Bag

It's taken me some time, but at last here's some patchwork I've done recently. Thought I'd post this bag that I have just completed for a friend of mine. I got the pattern from www.abyquilt.blogspot.com. As you can see, it's turned out quite well.
