Quilting for Jan, Lois & Thelma

Hello Quilty Friends!

Thank you Jan, Lois & Thelma for entrusting your beautiful creations to me.

A few weeks ago a young family that we had grown fond of in our street moved to another area of New Zealand. I decided it would be nice to gift the two young girls (4yrs & 2yrs) a small quilt each. ( I don't need much of an excuse to make a quilt!) I'm happy to say they love their Fairy quilts. I found a cute soft flannel in my stash that was big enough for both quilt backs, that's always a bonus!

After a couple of years of procrastination I made myself some new oven mitts. I used two layers of that special heat resist batting (the proper name eludes me!) I threw my old gross ones out, goodbye!

One day a couple of weeks ago when 'dooms-day' scrolling social media I saw Telly Bean Knits cute "Showered in Rainbows" cardigan. I purchased the pattern & got knitting! An unusual construction ( for me anyway) Do I have a newborn to give this cardi too? No I don't, I figured it was a minimal commitment size, I'm sure I will hear of someone who might like it. ( I have a growing collection 😁)

On the book reading front I have read Kristin Hannah's The Great Alone for the second time.

 Have you read any of her books?

Thanks for stopping by,

Leeanne.
