We each pieced a third of it in a simple design of 3 sizes of squares in mostly Kaffe Fassett fabrics. The hand quilting is running across the quilt diagonally and we are each doing every third stripe. My mum and grandma have done their stripes and it is now my turn to complete it before we exhibit it in June. 2010-4-6 17:33:15 http://www.aileemadethis.co.uk/page8.htm#60560 Ive also had a lot of help this week sorting out my buttons as you can see from the photo... 2010-3-15 12:28:57 http://www.aileemadethis.co.uk/page8.htm#60558 These rag dolls are what Ive been working on recently.

The bibs are made from a wipe clean fabric on the top so they are great for babies starting weaning or those learning to drink from a cup or those who just seem to get in a bit of a mess The backing and binding is made from an easy care polycotton so less likely to stain so your bibs should look shiny and new for longer They have two poppa closures so the size is adjustable and they wont loose their oomph in the wash like velcro. I made bibs like this to take on holiday and they were fantastic as they could last quite a few meals with a wipe in between before they needed a wash. 2010-2-22 15:33:37 http://www.aileemadethis.co.uk/page8.htm#58943 These crocheted flower necklaces brooches and hair slides have just been added to the jewellery shop page.

Who knows someone might even buy somethingWhen I havent been working on the site Ive been making wipe clean oilcloth bibs.

Theres going to be lots of wiping and lots of washing and if the bib cuts it then therell be more in the shop soon. Watch this space. X 2010-2-10 21:02:05
