loving Thursdays
It’s Thursday again – my day without kids – well, for six hours or so anyway. My day for trying to squeeze in all those tasks that can be done much more quickly without the company of a four year old or a nine year old. So while I am doing the ironing/visiting Medicare/visiting the travel agent/paying bills/getting petrol, I will be dreaming about quilting this work-in-progress.
I put this together during the holidays back in January. It took very little time, and was lots of fun to do. I have backing fabric, I have batting, I have binding fabric. I just need some time to baste it and quilt it!
Size wise it’s a small lap quilt, perfect for in the car, on your lap, or for a baby. I’ll possibly make another for my niece Leah – because she’s having a baby in July! I’m going to be a great-aunt! Who’d have thought it…
You can get the pattern for this quilt from the talented Kate. Go on, make one! But I’d better get back to that to-do list. Now!
Lovley colours!
I save all my basting for Thursday night sewing at NOTYQ. Our guild has a full size billiards-table, covered with boards, that we all use to baste on – it really saves that back.
You are welcome to come and try it out sometime 🙂
Brilliant quilt top. The tones and colours and lovely – very homely. I like very much.
That grey fabric really makes the quilt. This looks like something I could make, if I ever dare attempt a quilt.
This quilt pattern is haunting me – everywhere I go it seems to be there… an omen perhaps?
Love these fabrics Lara 😉
Hope you enjoyed your day! The quilt is lovely. You’ve chosen your colours so well!
Wow! this is gorgeous. I love those muted shades 🙂 Avis x

Can’t wait to see it quilted Lara! Looks great already x
