This is my work desk this morning in bright and sunny Brisbane. I had taken a break from blogging so that I could catch up on some stuff that I wanted to get finished before my Mum and son arrive because I know once I have visitors that my creating time tends to diminish whilst I enjoy the company.
So it is my sewing machine and on the right you can see a pile of bags with quilts inside which I have made for LillyBo Quilts. I am hoping that my visitors will be able to take them back with them and post them off to Jo(zart) in the New Year.
Little boy quilt with cars and trucks
and backed with little cars
and the bag with some felt cars hanging from a chain. they can be removed and played with on the quilt.
Little boy raggedy quilt...
backed with soft fur fabric.
and matching bag.
An alphabet quilt.
backed in blue.
Little girl's heffalump quilt...
with satin ribbons to play with.
backed with lots of birds.
Don't forget to check out the linky list for all the desks to visit over at Julia's place and if you could leave your number, I would be super grateful!! :)
Beautiful quilts Annette, Jo will be thrilled! Good idea to get caught up before your visitors arrive and quite right that you should spend your time with them and not worry about getting online so much. When do they arrive? Better Australia in "winter" than Canada, lol!

Wow you have been busy......I am loving all the fabulously fun and bright patterns of your quilts and that bag will adorn someone's arm beautifully. Have a great week and enjoy your visitors. Danie #16
ReplyDeleteWow! Fabulous quilts! The kids will love them. I especially like the cars. If my knees would allow I'd be on the floor playing with them on the quilt. :) Have a wonderful time with your company! Happy WOYWW! Nan G #14
ReplyDeleteOMG these are terrific! and fun! and will be very loved by some little boy or girl!
ReplyDeletei am especially fond of the first one with boats and cars.
Such gorgeous quilts! I love all the details like the cars you can take off and play with and the ribbons, so tactile! These are a joy! I can't make things like this, so I really admire the skill involved. What a lovely idea this is. I'm sure little ones who really deserve these will love them! Happy WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #38
ReplyDeleteWhat stunningly beautiful quilts, Annette! Hope you enjoy your visitors and have lots of fun, I know you will! Helen #20

Oooh the transport Quilt! I know a few little boys who would so love this!
ReplyDeleteAs would I love to know how to sew. But I can't do it all, so for now I stick to papercrafting. It sure does look soft and inviting. Such a great idea also to make a bag to go with them :)

Absolutely you can't be creating or blogging too much when you have company, you need to absorb and enjoy them!
ReplyDeletethe quilts are beautiful, what a generous and lovely gal you are. a absolutely love the choices of fabrics together.
Oh Jo will be delighted when she gets all of these - you have been busy. I have to ring her later today so will tell her to visit your blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts - now take time for yourself and your visitors - how lovely to have mum and son together on the one visit. Enjoy!
Hugs, Neet 35 xx
Wonderful, wonderful quilts! What a lovely lady you are, Annette, to make these and be such a blessing to the kids! I am blessed by your generosity! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteJiminy! All so lovely! I haven't touched my machine since I handed over the ones I made - aching to get back to it but there is so much to do and time is always at a premium. I think I need a rigid schedule - Monday Scrapping, Tuesday Gelli, Weds. WOYWW, Thursday printables...Friday Quilting? Kinda sucks the joy out of being crafty if you can't DO when inspiration strikes but what's a girl to do??
ReplyDelete:)
I am determined to be early this week
Happy WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteJust love all your sewing today! The quilt and matching bag are so cute. I agree--hard to craft with visitors in the house. To answer your question...yes, I definitely decorate the dollhouse for Christmas. Can't wait to do that this year! Thanks for the visit and happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #5

Peace, Kay (19)
What fantastic quilts, you are one very talented lady! Have a great time with your visitors. Hugs. Pam#37
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this, but I'm glad to see you are well. Those quilts are fantastic. It sounds like Christopher or your mom will have a big bundle to pack when they return home. I bet you are glad they will be coming. Of course, that means time out and about, a fun time I always enjoy sharing with you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, if you and Christopher run across a kookaburra and call it something else, I won't be able to correct you and I probably won't even know the difference. However, if it's a moose . . . (grin)
Those are some beautiful quilts. I especially love the toys you can detach from the bag to play on the quilt. I love all the detail and the colors are so happy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. I have been busy trying to use up my kit for my blog series. Fingers crossed!

My favorite is the raggedy quilt with the matching bag! Wonderful! patsy
