Quilt #1 of 2010

TAHDAH!

I’ve been desperate to post this for weeks now. It’s a birthday quilt for the gardener at SC. He’s a hippy with a camper van, so I thought this Happy Campers quilt would do him quite nicely. He’s been requesting a quilt for ever, and he received this yesterday – so I can finally post it.

I like how cheerful this is. I’ve kept a few strips back from this, and I think that I might use them to make a very simple quilt, something cheerful and not-at-all-precious, that can be put in the back of my car, or used in the garden for picnics and sunbathing.

I’m also completely in love with this colour grey. I think this may have to be the basis for another quilt for me and the puppeh.

Coming soon! Photos of me in my first venture into making clothes! But it’s too cold at the moment for me to even consider getting changed!

    Now that’s what I call a quilt!
    I hope he’s suitably grateful.
    Well done you. It’s a cracker.
    Love to you and to your mum. x x

    Ne’er cast a clout till may is out. You keep yourself sewn into your undercrackers until the hawthorn’s blooming, young lady, or you’ll take a chill.
