Friends

I have received some lovely gifts from crafty friends lately.

 

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!!

Gotta love your friends!!!

Crafting with the kiddos

Inspired by a blog post a while ago (wish I could remember where I saw it .... Sorry!!) I decided to make some quilts with my kids.

I pulled a whole load of scraps from the scrap box, ironed them on to some fuseable webbing and cut out lots of little shapes using my pinking shears.

Then I had the children select the patches they liked, peeled off the paper backing to turn the pieces into stickers and place them on a square of white cotton.

The only rule I gave them was that the pieces shouldn't be touching.

Then I followed Amanda Jean's procedure for her Ticker Tape Quilt and put on a binding.

Fun!!

PS Have you checked out the great deal from Mango Lime yet?

Saving the world .... one poop at a time

I bet THAT got your attention!!

Well now you need to check out my friend Annie's new business Mango Lime - Modern cloth nappies with style.

How about wrapping some Echino on your bubba's bum!!

Or some Amy Butler!!

They'd be the most fashionable babies on the block.

And the most eco-friendly. These nappies are re-useable and earth friendly.

AND .... Annie is offering a 25% discount to Patch Andi readers until the end of February.
So, if you have little nappy wearers at home .... or have friends who do .... head over to Mango Lime and here's what you do:

• Browse through all the gorgeous styles and pick the one/s you want
• Pop them in your shopping cart
• At the checkout, choose "request totals" as your preferred payment option. This means you don't pay until Annie sends you an invoice.
• Then, send Annie an email via the "contact us" page to say you came from Patch Andi and she will send you an invoice with a 25% discount on your purchase.

 Easy!!

Happy shopping.

Andi :-)

A quilty finish!!

All done!!

Quilted with double horizontal and vertical lines on either sides of the seams plus single diagonal lines through each square.

The back is another thrifted sheet from the oppy!

With lovely bright pink and orange binding.

Not bad for a 2 day turn-around!!
