I have almost finished my bombshell swimmers and my drop waist shirt dress so I hope that I will soon be able to post something interesting, but in the meantime, I finised my lap quilt!
Yes, I have spent quite a few nights snuggled under this slowly hand quilting it. It's not perfect, far from it, but the double muslin makes it so so snuggly. I'm glad that, even though I messed up what was supposed to be a pair of pyjamas, I used the fabric to make this up. It will be glued to my legs each evening! Oh and it is a bit of a stashbusting success. The white striped double muslin on the back and the grey stripe (from the disintegrating sugar tee shirt) are all from the stash and of course the spots were destined for the scrap heap. Now back to that bombshell.
This is fabulous! Especially the pink binding.
ReplyDeletelovely! the spots are fab, but the binding really makes it!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and comfy! I think you should proudly wrap yourself up in your new quilt and attend Karen's PJ party! I can't wait until you post details on the bombshell. I've downloaded the pattern and I'm interested to know how it comes together.
ReplyDeleteYay for warmth and coziness! Your quilt is really cute. What's a good size for a lap quilt? I think I'd like to make one for our home.
ReplyDeletelovely! agree it's the binding that really pulls it all together beautifully. enjoy snuggling!
ReplyDeleteA really gorgeous use of scrap fabrics!! Goes without saying I cannot wait to see your other current projects too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Morgan. This one was based on the material I had. It is 48 x 41 inch (104 x 122cm) which in fact is a perfect size. I'm only a shortie (about 156cm) so it covers me perfectly.
ReplyDeleteJust finished the bombshell today. Now trying to work out how to photograph it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Hope you find yourself some sewing time soon :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha - that's what I should do given I had bought the material for her party!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shivani.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzy. I love the pink as well :)
ReplyDeleteAmy, I am snuggled under this every single evening. You must make one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I think this little quilt is better and getting more use than a pair of pjs. WIN!
