A childhood friend of mine had a baby girl called Margaux 2 weeks ago. So in a last minute rush ( yep, misslastminute.com it’s me) I quilted a cute little quilt. She can use it to  put down the baby or as a play mat or just a cuddly blankie. Also Dale, our quilt mentor who started

  Quilt Quorner here in Athlone and taught us girls to quilt, had given me for Dylan a little cuddly square, full of colours and textures. So I thought I’d make one for Marguaux too. Thanks Dale!!

 Here’s what I came up with:

These fabric flowers are so cute, I just learned how to make them and as it was a first, I kinda chose one of my least favorite fabrics…But it works well together! I plan to make many more, this time mixing and matching gorgeous fabrics…And if it works well, maybe I could offer them in my Etsy boutique?…Something to think about!

So, yes I forgot to say that I made this flower into a brooch!

Made a little ‘carton handbag’ to present the brooch into…

I love using contrasting colours and I’ve notice that Black and white together mixed with specific colours is stunning. You’ll probably find this mix in  my creations…I mean, just look at the blog! LOL

Ready to go! I’m going to offer that one to my friend as we’re staying with them this week end in Clifden, Connemara. Hope she likes it, but I’m quite confident, she’s very arty crafty herself and loves buttons.

 Thanks for looking ^_^
