so good

Where's the fairy??

Magic in the loungeroom

A little bit of Christmas

Joy on the table

Ta da......all done except the embroidery on the back from Mummy to Henry(I am putting it off as embroidery is something I have never been any good at and I suspect I'll botch it!)

Henry says he could use either side

I love the stitching coming through the back in the different colours

Patch puppies

Little knots at various corners for fun

 

Look ,I even bled on it for good luck!

I have decided that going on holiday and having a family house sit, is ideally fantastic but in reality a little stressfull.We are leaving summer and going to hardcore winter so we are not taking much with us.Therefore the vacant cupboard for the guests is proving a little hard to find!And the washing!! All the washing must be done for us to take and to leave room for them.Ack!! I think we'll have to hide it all in the roof.......................xx

I forgot to say on Thursday that I managed to get myself a mushroon and an owl.

Great job on the quilt. I know you appliqued the patches just in case you want to removed them later on. But I really like it that way, I think it makes the quilt. Especially, the stitching around each square.

That's WONDERFULL!
I looooove Henry's quilt!
I specially love the little details, such as the little knots,and also love the choice of colors.

I think I could never manage to make something that big...

Kisses from Brazil!

it is beautiful. You inspire me to do one for my son but at 9 will he still like it at 14?!!!

quilt is divine - and finished. I can't even make a decision on fabrics! Don't worry about the house sitters - get them to do the washing.......especially with all those gorgeous decorations! ; )

Hi Clare !
Oooh that quilt is so gorgeous ! What a lucky little guy Henry is ! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by yesterday, I know how busy you must be right now ! :) Btw, it's starting to snow, and it's freezing right now in Paris. Brrrr .... Take care ! XOXO

I can't begin to imagine what I'd need to hide if strangers were coming to live in my house! stress indeed! LOVE that quilt - love all the stitching! You could do the dedication on a seperate panel and just applique it on then you wouldn't have to worry if it didn't turn out right - also you wouldn't have to take the quilt back to work on it! t.xx

It is gorgeous and he will be very happy to return home from England sleep in it!! (Or could bring it with him and stay...!) very very talented. Btw this time next week you will have played football on clapham common, been to the Cross (maybe!), and ice skated (or tried to...) in Hyde Park. Bought Time Out for Children :-) Snow this morning means need lots of layers and winter woolies. 5 sleeps... Tilley and Lola and very excited for daytime company! xxxx

The quilt turned out beautiful! Hey, I have the same Villeroy and Boch china set. I love the new banner- miss the cute shoes, but you've still got the red in there to make it pop. Hope you have a great trip and Happy Christmas! Look forward to checking in after the holidays.....
