A Quilt For Anders
Our Little man is now 4 years old. It's hard to believe that the Covid Isolation/Lock down happened so long ago. Anders was born on the Friday before lock-down hit us. We were on one of our wonderful retreats at Alison House in Cromford when he was born. Life changed immediately and he was several months old before I met him, I saw him over the garden fence but that's not the same as a snuggle and squeeze is it. Here's a linky to the post about the first quilt I made for him.
4 years old and he's having a big bed so, Nangie felt the urge to make him a new quilt. He loves vehicles, I had a plan.

I hope you've noticed how I'm trying to remember to take more photos and to write stuff more often.

Very important stuff first, as Easter Bank holidays approach.
My shop will be open on Friday 29th March but closed on Tuesday 2nd April.
It's much easier than closing on Good Friday (though every Friday is good in my shop!) Opening on Saturday, Closed for Sunday and Monday etc. The ladies who regularly come to class on Tuesdays are more than happy to take an extra day to eat their chocolate Eggs. Unfortunately though, I will have to have 4 lovely long days off, but I can cope with that!! I might just have to sew?

Good morning quilty folks! It's back to normal day today. What a wonderful visit we had to Hillscourt in the Lickey Hills. A very relaxing retreat but the time passed by way too quickly, as always! We were all very productive in the sewing department. I didn't take any photos to share with you though, I was so busy stitching you see. I did finish a fun quilt top using all sorts of fabrics from my home stash and it will be sandwiched at some point today. More on that later.
I found these photos taken last Tuesday in class. It was a very busy day, which is lovely. Lots of like minded people inspiring each other. The shop was buzzing with customers all day too.

It's a bit sparce on the photos again this week. There is a bit of secret sewing that I can't put on my blog just yet. You can safely presume that my customers are being very stitch-ily productive.
