Bec gave me some lovely jewels that her daughter no longer wanted. There are more but Ella has already snapped them up in her treasure boxes.
Bec actually gave these to me ages ago. Sorry it has taken me so long to post about them Bec.
And Kate heard I might be interested in some vintage sheeting with pinks so she gave me this lovely lot.
Thanks girls!!
Some dear friends of ours had a little baby boy this week.
(When I say little ... he weighed in at just over 5kg .... that's about 11 pounds .....Hail Caeser!!!)
I made him a strippy quilt
With lots of boyish fabrics featuring dinosaurs, vehicles and animals!!
It has his name on the back .... Ezra Barak (no relation).
In Hebrew, Barak means 'lightening'.
Stipple quilted all over.
And of course, a matching cushion for the big brother Jake so he doesn't feel left out!!
And speaking of friends ... don't forget my friend Annie's special offer!!
Andi :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Andi,
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is just adorable...the colors are so bright and cheery. So thoughtful to make a pillow for big brother too. Love the goodies you've received, very thoughtful friends.

Perfect fabric for a modern and bright kids quilt! Love the appliqued name on the quilt - such a personalised baby gift.
ReplyDeleteDid you say 11lbs?
ReplyDeleteI'll be back to comment on those fab colour combos, stripes and how I love that you manage to personalise so much of what you do, once my jaw has found its way off the floor.
You never know...you might even get that needlecase i promised you one day too!! *rolling eyes at self*
