Linus projects

Here are the two Linus Projects I mentioned last post and I am pleased to report I've found a piece of fleece that will fit the purple quilt and even co-ordinate with the colour-----It's amazing what you find when you delve to the very back of the cupboard!!! now to see if I can find something to go with the blue!!

These should be finished by next weekend, now off to celebrate our DD finishing the London Marathon it took her over 6 hours.---Well done dear Zahra.

Linus Project Progress

At last I'm making some progress on a couple of Linus quilts, these have been made with orphan blocks from various sources I now need some fleece for backing as I have run out of usable pieces so may I will be able to get some next week and then I'll post a picture.

I also knit (a bit)

A blanket for Linus Project knitted using a pattern drafted by Dot the current chair of a group I belong to. It was so easy and the perfect pattern for knitting while watching TV, I think it took longer to sew together than to knit so sat in a bag for a few weeks but now at last a finish!!

I think you can just see the little owls in the centre of each square.

Quilt gifted--at last

The Pink baby quilt was delivered today (at last) and I got time for baby cuddles as well. Mum loves it so all is well.

Didn't add a border but used a wide binding to finish --- good job I added a couple of colour catchers to the wash (I always wash baby quilts before gifting) as I hadn't washed the binding and they turned a very strong pink!! I also hand over washing instructions as a baby quilt that you can't wash isn't going to be much good!
Now onto the next couple of projects which are at various stages so probably next week before a finish especially as I will be glued to the TV on Sunday trying to get a sighting of our DD as she takes part in her first London Marathon -- she is running for Juvenile Diabetes Research as our middle grand daughter is a Type1 diabetic and has been since she was 20 months old, she is now 11years old.

Linky Party

I've just linked to Lily's Quilts linky party for small bogs.
