I'm a bit late wishing Happy Christmas - but the love is there!!!
There was lots of last minute stitching ....
Twin Tawny FrogMouths were born to us ..... I only have my phone camera so it is not clear but I assure you these babies are very sweet... and so good.... not whiney or noisy or demanding at all!!
They are an Australian native bird and if you google it you will see much better pictures....
We are having fun watching them - they are moved from branch to branch each night so part of our morning ritual has been looking for them..... often mum and dad are there too....
In this picture mum is sitting with the twins
.... I finished the Wild Things quilt for a grandson..... I rather love this one....
... as the pictures are big and bold I used monofilament for around all the applique and then echoed around each Wild thing..... then some wobbly geometric shapes in the border....
The superheroes quilt was also finished..... I rather love this one too!
... In this one I also used monofilament around the applique and then some wiggles and circles in the backgrounds....
Both these quilts were made from Toni's book Happy Quilts
.... then there was more birthing it seemed in our house..... looks like a breach delivery????
... and a superhero was born....
... and so was a Wild Thing....
I've only done a couple of stuffed toys before and this time I used felted woolen fabric - a little bit bulky but also forgiving for the shapes....
... here they are placed under the Christmas Tree for Jack and Blair.... whose Dad was with us for a few days over Christmas...
I spotted them all packed in the backpack ready to take to Melbourne for these little men....
I can't wait till I hear how they respond to them...
The best thing about making quilts is them going somewhere to be used and loved isn't it?
Righto, Gotto Go.... Christmas is over, house is empty .... I really don't like the after feeling so perhaps I will find some sewing to occupy me!
