Hello bloggers! thank you for all your lovely comments about my quilts. I have to say, I'm definitely in a quilty mood at the moment. I don't know how long it will last, probably 'till the winter gloom makes it too hard to see the fabrics properly!
As a diversion this week I made some owls from the rest of my wool pieces. I'm not usually a fan of toy making, or anything that involves cutting and sewing fiddly shapes, but these were easy and fun to make and I think they're really cute. The bits of old crochet lace give them a bit of character and I even found a basket "nest" the right size for them :)
There was a bit more quilt making with the squares I cut out ages ago. There were enough for a cot size quilt which was nice and quick to put together. Backed with a peachy pink dotty fabric and bound with blue and white stripe it would make a sweet gift for a baby girl. I'll be taking it (and the owls) along to the craft fair, but it'll probably end up in my etsy shop, maybe along with the matching doll quilt.
Right! I'd better go and catch up with some housework as the ironing fairy doesn't seem to have visited lately :(
Bye for now

Owls seem to been very popular at the moment and yours are such lovely colours . They match in so well with the lovely quilt.

Adorable owls and such a pretty little quilt! I love the colours of the blanket fabric you used for the owls, it looks so soft too. I also love the colours in you quilt and the two projects look delightful together.

An ironing fairy! Now wouldn't that be wonderful. But I think you can be forgiven a little ironing neglect when you have made such a delightful hoot of owls!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute owls and a simply beautiful quilt. Seriously, I'm swooning!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm keeping the ironing fairy busy, she may be a while!!!

ReplyDeleteYour owls are such fun! and I love the cot quilt, the colours are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nest of cheeky-looking owls you've made! I love the soft colours and the lacy bits just add that little something special! Well done! Beautiful quilt too. I do admire all you quilt-makers, I wouldn't have a clue! Though my crochet hook gets a good work-out and I'm in a cushion-making mood at the moment!
ReplyDeletePlease send the ironing fairy over here when she's finished at your place!

ReplyDeleteOoh, Debbie, please keep some owls aside for your Etsy shop - they are just so cute. I'm loving all the owls that are around this season, but yours are the sweetest I've seen. Especially all lined up in their basket like that!

Happy Sunday,

Thank you for your words on my Halloween dress, it`s turning out nice but how I long for cotton. :) The quilt youre showing in this post is also wonderful, its starting to itch in my fingers, maybe I to should get quilting. Blogs are such a nice source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove the owls!
ReplyDeleteThe owls are so cute, I have a thing for owls so they're right up my street. The quilt is wonderful too, the fabrics you use are so pretty and feminine. Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog, it means such a lot. Next week seems such a long way off when we're waiting for news.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love it. :)
