Quilts in shops!

I am making quilts to put into two shops, first real stock in shops for about ten years!

The lovely Penny Fielding is going to stock them in Penny Fielding Beautiful Interiors on Orford Road, E17 and the lovely Ashlyn is going to carry them in the cute Olive Loves Alfie on Stoke Newington Church Street.

Needless to say I have been working very hard the last week to get stock together, and have been neglecting my next essay (final one for this module), which is due in on the 12th! Tomorrow I am quilting still and Wednesdays are usually dedicated to playing with Minnie and Max, Thursday will be spent at the Knitting and Stitching show at Ally Pally so that leaves just four days to read up and write the essay. They all have been written right up against the deadline and I have done well in all of them so far so I shan't worry.

I have gotten my oldest interested in The Office so off to watch some more of it now, whilst surreptitiously preparing another quilt for sewing

made some little dresses this week, as modeled by the gorgeous Ruby

yesterday and today I took part in the walthamstow open studio event, the e17 art trail.

The weather held out and it was thanks to the lovely Sarah who lives a few doors down that I ended up in her gorgeous garden with my stand which made it all the more fun and sociable.

Minnie quilt cover

I made this lovely quilt cover for Minnie's third birthday. Fell in love with it and found it hard to give it away. MUST one day make something for myself : )

Work like the weather hotting up a bit now. Have just finished Jacob's quilt, really cute blue gingham one. Had such problems finding right shade of gingham as could only find mid and dark blue, kept bringing samples in to show lady I was making it for but they were all wrong. Who would have thought light blue gingham would be so hard to come by??? Anyway found it in the end and handed it over today.
