Charming......

A layer cake of Little Apples cut into 4 'charm packs'...

one pack made this little Disappearing 9 patch - it will do nicely for a 'doll' quilt for a little girl at some stage...


that was after I had made this pretty girls quilt



and whilst I am on the subject of Charms


Sharon over at Lilabelle Lane is taking names for a swap of charms
Have a read over HERE - I think it will be fun...  you can link to the join up HERE
first 56 members and we end up with loads of happy charms

Because of postage costs it is going to be for Au/NZ residents only - for the far away friends maybe someone can do another over by your place?

back to my Little Apples...... of course I still have 2 packs.... I think I will make girly bags with one....


and giveaway the other.....


let me know if you want in..... just remember it is not a 'professional' charm pack... but it is one of each of the colours... but I can't guarantee all of the lines are perfectly straight..... you know I drink too much coffee and sometimes the lines move....

Just leave a comment on this post and I'll chat to Mr Random in a couple of weeks.

hope you don't mind waiting whilst I take a break

.... you see I am going away to meet the owner of this new little baby boy quilt ....

Jack's quilt

.... see ya ......

    Enjoy your visit with Jack and give him a little kiss from each of us. I know you'll be kissing him that many times anyway :) And, sure, put my name in for the charm squares please.

    Enjoy those special Nanna cuddles with little Jack.
    Your quilts look gorgeous. Havent seen that fabric range before, looks cute. Very different look with the two colours of sashing.

    The quilts look wonderful with the little apples, I love that fabric. I think it would be fun to use for charity quilts for kids.

    Hey Fiona! I'm late in catching up with blogs...just wanted to say that I love the quilts you've made with "Little Apples". They are soooo cute. And I am so happy for you that you are getting a chance to go and meet darling Jack. I'm sure I don't need to tell you to have a wonderful time with him! :o)

    "See ya" when you get back!

    XOXO,

    sew many ways to lay out the disappearing 9 patch .... the perfect size for a little one's little one.
    I have been making them to and always like how they turn out ... different fabrics = a different look
