Queen Size Bed Quilt

The quilt is going well and I have nearly completed all the quilting. I have had some intricate patterns to quilt and am nearly done. Another couple of days and all done.

The weather however, is not working that well. It is sweltering weather again and having a quilt on my lap has been really hot. I have been sitting there with my swimming togs on to try and survive the heat.

Hope you are all having a wonderful time.

It never rains, but it pours...

Hi everyone, hope you all had a wonderful and restful break. I have had some rest and relaxation and now the projects start. I have some awesome projects coming up.

Firstly, a lucky 21 year old will receive a quilt designed and inspired by his parents and quilted by me. I have just had the pieced quilt top delivered and it is stunning. I am about to pin it all together and start putting the design for the quilting together to begin.

Will have to wait till after the birthday before I can share the project with you, so watch this space.

The album I did a while ago for the engaged couple was a hit and the wedding is coming up fast. I will be making cupcake holders (from Cindy Loo Cricut Cartridge) for the tables as each guest is getting a cupcake. The groom is my cousin and his brother has also bitten the bullet and has asked his girlfreind to marry him, so another wedding coming up really soon. I have also given them the gift of an engagement album, but need the photos and colour scheme to create it for them.

For the weddings I would love to give each happy couple a 'visitor's' book for all the guests to sign and say something meaningful to them.

If you have any ideas, please share them with me as I would love to hear from you.

Big hugs
Jen
