Doing the Happy Dance!!!!

C'mon Kris .... join me, you know you know how it's done he he he ... shuffle, shuffle, clap, clap ..... sliiiiide .... shimmy shimmy .... oh yeah!!! That's me dancing cos I'm celebrating - I've finally finished Ross and Alicia's quilt!!!! Yay!!!! I can't wait to give it to them!!!

Waddyathink???

I'm so pleased with it, the colours are so fresh and the butterflies (on the 'diamond' strips - you can't see them too well on this piccy, they're clearer here) are just right for Alicia, she LOVES butterflies :o). It's made from one of my JoyPatch patterns called "Diamonds and Braids" but I added a border to make it bigger.

I'm also chuffed to bits with how the label turned out. I was going to piece a label from some of the leftover fabrics but then I had a bright idea. So I bolted down to my Local Quilt Store to see Margaret and the girls there and I bought a pack of printable fabric. DD gave me a hand with finding a site to edit my piccies (here) it was an easy site to navigate, so I played until I came up with this!!! I really like it :o). The pic isn't quite as clear as real life - it's Ross placing the ring on Alicia's finger - but I think you get the idea.

So, since I've finished that now, I'm free to make other things. So, I started stitching these gorgeous fabrics .......These are my "Oh Cherry Oh's - I've been dying to get my hands on these little darlings ... don't they all go together so beautifully!!??! I ran out of thread part way through though so I've had to put them aside, but I'll be off to get more thread tomorrow so that I can make some more progress :o).

Going to do the ironing now ....
