a new quilt for a little chap

 My very dear friends became grandparents a couple of weeks ago(very young grandparents I might add)....and they are over the moon of course.
I got to meet the little chap yesterday and he was a real delight. I'm not usually very comfortable around tiny babies. I never rush to ooh or arhh , nor to have  a hold....but I must say I was quite taken with him......but no, I'm definitely not ready to be a grandma for some time......girls note! (actually they dont read this, I'm just throwing that up into the ether for them to absorb the thought.)

So a little quilt just had to be made.....I chose the Sarah Jane fabrics , Children at play....which are just lovely. I even attached a little label this time which I haven't done in the past.....but probably all quilts should have one, right? It was well received.











My giveaway from Katy, I told you about last time arrived. Very exciting. I almost snatched the postie's hand off when he knocked I was that excited! If you are unsure what the thangles are for, check out Katy's great tutorial
Now all I have to work out is what to make.....off to Bath tomorrow so it will need to wait.
have a great weekend x

  2. Love the quilt, I bet they were thrilled to receive such a gorgeous gift. I'm with you when it comes to babies, they frighten me with their smallness!
