Baby Feet

Just wanted to share with you all this picture, as it involves the hexagon blanket from my last post.

I posted this picture on facebook last week and I've had so many comments from friends and family about it.
I was looking after William for the afternoon and I'd wrapped him in his Hexagon Blanket and laid him at one end of the settee. I sat at the other end and when I looked over and saw his little feet peeping out from the hexagons as he slept, I couldn't resist taking a picture.


How cute is that? 
EnJoy .

Anyway, I've just finished his new quilt 'Two Pairs of Jeans and a Gigging Shirt' I really enjoyed working on it. It's quite organic and proudly shows the signs of wear on the jeans, lots of big bold stitching and inside out seams.

As always it's hard letting go of a piece of...

AND With it being St. Davids Day today (1st March) St. David is a patron Saint. of Wales AND The Daffodil is our National Flower You'll see lots of these worn in Wales today. If you see someone with a daffodil on elsewhere in the world on 1st March Chances are they are Welsh and showing their Welsh pride.  Anyway I digress This is another project using my new needlefelting machine. I cut out the daffodil shapes in felt  and needlefelted them onto the back of the black felt background to create a 'painterly' effect on the front.  I then freemotion stitched around the outlines and into the leaves and flower I stitched a grided 'nine patch' effect and then stitched around the edge using yellow thread and a zig zag stitch. I had intended ...
