Catching up!!

2007-10-04T11:34:00.000+01:00

I've just been over to the Post Office to FINALLY get some Squishes in the post. I have been a bit overwhelmed with the difficulties of getting Little Prince settling in school and Squish swapping was put on the back burner, while I dealt with Little Prince. Luckily he is now feeling a lot more settled at school, so both me and him are happier and I can start to concentrate on other things too!! The only problem with posting the Squishes today, is that there is another Postal Strike, so the envelopes will sit at the Post Office until next Wednesday!!

Fabric Cutting

2007-09-30T22:59:00.001+01:00

I decided that I'd better buy some more 'boyish' fabric for swapping and managed to find some lovely English fabric last week, in two different colourways. Tonight I finally had time to sit down and cut it all out!! So I now have two new piles of fabric, and I even cut out the small sample of fabric to stick in the wishes when I send them. I also got the printing done to make more wishes, although I still need to actually construct the wishes! That's tomorrow's job :-)

2007-09-26T10:51:00.000+01:00

Hope you are keeping up with this lol.

2007-09-26T10:41:00.000+01:00

This Squish was a lovely surprise sent when a friend noticed I had started a OHGWQ for Little Prince.
The fabric is a blue cloudy sky, with colourful aeroplanes flying around. Its perfect for a little boy quilt :-) The wish is a quote from Winnie The Pooh, Little Prince wants to know why Winnie The Pooh sent him a square? The answer from Suzanne (who actually sent the fabric lol) is because he's special :-) Thank you ever so much Suzanne, the fabric is gorgeous (and I'm not just saying that honest) and starting to get his own fabrics is definitely making Little Prince feel very special :-)

This lovely, very American and very cars orientated fabric is perfect to start off Little Prince's Squish collection. It has come from Floyds Knobs (!!!), IN. Thank you ever so much Monica :-)

Another Day Another Blog Another Quilt!!!

2007-09-19T12:41:00.000+01:00

I was going to make Little Prince a quilt of his own, once I had finished MeiMei's quilt. A few weeks ago I saw someone swapping American car licence plate fabrics, and as cars are Little Prince's FAVOURITE things EVER, I thought I'd make a start with his fabric. He was so excited when we received this fabric that I realised that he was feeling a bit more left out of the quilting excitement than I thought! So I have made the (foolish - we shall see!!) decision to start collecting his fabric now too!! Goodness knows how I'm going to stay organised enough for this lol. But I'll give it a good go :-) So here it is my THIRD blog and my SECOND quilt collection!!!
