Birthday Quilt!

I am a very lucky person. I had a lovely birthday last week topped by a totally unexpected gift of a quilt for my bed from Angie, my Mother-In-Law. It's very soft and consists of large squares of Kaffe Fassett fabric bordered by his shot cotton plains. I love it's earthy warmness. I love the surprise of it ... and I love the caring nature of the making of a gift such as this.

Recently my daughter has commandeered my sewing machine and has been making all sorts of stuffed ghosts and ginger cats!

Here is a little giveaway postcard from Quilt Rat - she didn't know it would arrive on my birthday! It's a coloured "doodle" (ha wish I could draw this well) which is then stitched with free machine quilting. Thank you!
