Custom made, to the requirements of a very demanding client, this one of a kind creation features the Union flag material on one side, and the green camo on the other, making it fully reversible!<br />

Lying on the woodpile to show the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lupin">lovely brooches from Lupin</a>. My children at school loved them, and have decided I need a sunshine one to go with the raincloud, as I am more sunshine than rain! Or a rainbow one to match my socks. I might be looking at her shop later....... (ok, we all know the *might* is a fib!)<br />

<br />
*gulp*<br />

But it's ok. I have a plan.<br />

It's quilted through to a layer of pink, and then the butterfly was put on right sides together, stitched almost all the way around, then turned out the right way and hand stitch the gap closed.<br /><br />I like doing little people quilts this way, because then a) all my mistakes are hidden lol!, and b) there is no chance of loose threads to catch small fingers and toes.<br /><br />And I've decided to stick it into the blog festival, because.... why not!

I am my mother's daughter.<br /><br />And so, in order to refocus myself, I went with the quilting option that I had been putting off for a while. I started this thing in November, from a pile of jeans that I needed to use so that I stopped wearing them.<br /><br />Some were just old and tired. But still fitted. I could only wear them in the house because the knees had gone, but that was ok.<br /><br />Some were too big, and left over from my size 16 days. US people, I think that's a size 14. Whatever, it was in my heifer days. As in Size of a Cow by The Wonder Stuff. I loved the Wonder Stuff. Almost as much as, in those days, I liked cake.<br /><br />I still like cake. But these days I exercise and I get lots of what has been referred to as the mattress mambo (which expression made me laugh!) and I don't eat as much rubbish, nor drink as much alcohol, hence I am back to a trim size 10. US people, I think it's a size 8. If I'm wrong, leave me a note lol!<br /><br />Size 10 is still overweight apparently, but I'm 34, I'm 5ft 3, and I'm happy, the man thinks I am the most gorgeous creature he has ever seen, and that suits me!<br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />And by the way, that's the way today has been. Distracted.<br /><br />So (what was I on about?) Oh yes, the quilt.<br /><br />So I made it from a lot of old jeans, cut into squares, stitched together by hand into strips, and then I had to stop, because I had blisters. Denim is hard stuff.<br /><br />Now I have a sewing machine, I went with the sewing the strips together option, as opposed to the sorting clothes upstairs option.<br /><br />Please to observe the results thus far.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_vdHQC80oXjLlhUhO_a_09FTNqbB1qxo7zca2eFx7P1KKXVcSLfS0eU6OO2icIZstsjHQO4_UTEnS-GZadNBVJBX9LrVri6QFVrGXrKmutt8Ql5ZEeV5dBMyy_QLcP6PN1q3EDjVA_PI/s1600-h/DSCF2479.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_vdHQC80oXjLlhUhO_a_09FTNqbB1qxo7zca2eFx7P1KKXVcSLfS0eU6OO2icIZstsjHQO4_UTEnS-GZadNBVJBX9LrVri6QFVrGXrKmutt8Ql5ZEeV5dBMyy_QLcP6PN1q3EDjVA_PI/s400/DSCF2479.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322007905424053410" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It's bigger than this, this is just a photo of about half of it I think. I have an old blanket to go underneath it, and then probably a flannel back on it.<br /><br />I think it looks quite lovely. We'll ignore the fact that some of the seams don't match up and that there's a couple of squares in the wrong place for the colours to go properly, and focus on the fact it's my first one, and it's functional, and I like it.<br /><br />I love it. </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn">s'me</span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://itwillallbefine.blogspot.com/2009/04/update-second.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" title="2009-04-07T18:37:00+01:00">6:37 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="reaction-buttons"> </span> <span class="star-ratings"> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> </span> <span class="post-backlinks post-comment-link"> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1380814869"> <a href="post-edit.g?blogID=2252373271251595236&postID=8556615357636271859" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" src="img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18" /> </a> </span> </span> </div><h2 class="date-header">Wednesday, April 8, 2009</h2> <a name="3689829853039137197"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://itwillallbefine.blogspot.com/2009/04/ok-well.html">Ok, well,</a> </h3> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSsMrVWdFOVk42Doki-vK0xQM7mb1F_hAgKCWhXB30SOrgtP9Y916mrhfro92YbvHYA_j9xog4pDKfJwvFE7gmBifGxbr6vcZx2vJ-UqFEuld6YnOsQk65xru4WNr47o_IeQ1G1oDdeEQ/s1600-h/DSCF2492.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSsMrVWdFOVk42Doki-vK0xQM7mb1F_hAgKCWhXB30SOrgtP9Y916mrhfro92YbvHYA_j9xog4pDKfJwvFE7gmBifGxbr6vcZx2vJ-UqFEuld6YnOsQk65xru4WNr47o_IeQ1G1oDdeEQ/s400/DSCF2492.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322254218613559218" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEXhDDc2U6ir-SVgNzcND-rPkkxrltynb34xdSscv3YmOH3j-tR_0tsidk4qMdGeuUPKsYmU7e1V-54OPOfTDWpjOKK-Ei2f-Q4HaztbfXevtH7cnnS4fro81YzgvhbEwxMbcVaZ0Ydk/s1600-h/DSCF2489.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEXhDDc2U6ir-SVgNzcND-rPkkxrltynb34xdSscv3YmOH3j-tR_0tsidk4qMdGeuUPKsYmU7e1V-54OPOfTDWpjOKK-Ei2f-Q4HaztbfXevtH7cnnS4fro81YzgvhbEwxMbcVaZ0Ydk/s400/DSCF2489.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322254213929802242" border="0" /></a><br />... I've done nothing this morning so far but slowly finish the quilt.<br /><br />I couldn't get the hang of the binding thing, so I've stitched the edges instead, as I also think they will be softer for the small child to snuggle under, as that is the plan for this quilt.<br /><br />It's not brilliant.<br /><br />The seams don't always match.<br />The oversewing meanders slightly.<br />The colours are slightly in the wrong places.<br /><br />Professionals may tut-tut at me, but I am absurdly proud of the progression of this, from old jeans to soft and snuggly quilt, stitched with love for the small child, for those nights when just a duvet isn't enough, or when curling up on the sofa requires a cover.<br /><br />I have a sewing lesson later today, to which I shall take my pictures, and then I might even book myself a quilting class. Depends on the cash, 'cos there isn't a lot of that at the moment lol!<br /><br /><br /><br />It is in situ now, awaiting his approval......Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17464244391201885299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962357900537980291.post-26502706862476761762009-10-14T09:40:00.000-07:002009-10-14T09:45:34.725-07:00Let's start at the very beginning...... a very good place to start....<br /><br />I'm good at starting things, better at buying fabric, and love to finish things, but somehow it always ends up being last minute.<br /><br />I've been meaning to start a quilting blog but, like it says in the sidebar (or will say when I get to it!) life has been a little complex.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm now going to go back through the other blog, and drag all the quilting pictures and entries to here.<br /><br />See you in a moment.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17464244391201885299noreply@blogger.com0
