  4. something tells me you'll be making beautiful quilts in no time!...mum and i have finished putting together Saskia's quilt and we're up to the hand quilting bit, and have kind of stalled! does your book have anything on hand quilting?

    ps. my lovely friend made the little one a bonnet after reading about the pattern on your blog - just posted a pic of her wearing it. too cute. i can't bear it.

  6. Figs are my most favorite of all fruits and I can not wait for them to get ripe here! We eat them in salad with cheese, honey and olive oil, Yum!
    I look forward to seeing your quilts as I would love to learn how myself.

  8. I was so sad when my children grew out of naptime. They would tell me that they didn't need it anymore and I would say, but I do!!!

    You will love quiltmaking, it is my favourite craft to do.
