it's my birthday
Today is my birthday. I've had a lovely relaxing day and even managed a little sewing, which I'll show you later in the week. For now I'll share some lovely fabric goodies.
Recently I won a couple of giveaways from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day. First up this gorgeous bundle of goodies from rosa e chocolat - such pretty fabrics, beautiful yarn and the sweetest little bag - thank you!
Then this super snuggly bundle of Puttin' on the Ritz from Sew Adorable Fabrics - a shop packed with gorgeous fabrics! Thank you Hannah!
Then yesterday a gift from my fabulous sister arrived and she had just ordered it on Friday. The divine Green Tea and Sweet Beans pattern book by Jen Kingwell and some lovely Pam Kitty Picnic from The Running Chicken - I would definitely recommend this shop! I have the bestest sister ever xxx
After all the birthday excitement the little one fell asleep on me late this afternoon. That doesn't happen as often now she's nearly one (she usually naps in her bed) and it was just precious.
Off to enjoy a takeaway curry and watch Her with hubbie - a blissful end to a great day!

Bienvenue Bebe Quilt - TGIFF!
Welcome to the TGIFF party! I am hosting the linky this week I can't wait to see what everyone has finished :)
I am thrilled to have finished some gifts for my dear friend's baby boy who was born last week!
Obviously I had to make a quilt and I used this lovely 'Windy Days Quilt' pattern. It came together easily but I was stumped how to quilt it until I saw Judith's beautiful vintage quilt and decided to do the same. I knew my friend wanted simple, she's far more sophisticated than me, so I wanted to go for something modern but classic; sweet but not too baby. I think the overall low volume works really well for her taste. I used Kona Snow for the background so it stayed warm and neutral.
I originally bought the fabric for this quilt not knowing the gender so went with the gorgeous Bunny Hill Designs fabric. I used a layer cake of Windsor Lane in green (not all of it so you may see some crop up again!) and the backing and binding fabrics are from the Puttin On The Ritz collection. I added an embroidered label.
I adore these prints and love the grey binding.
This is also a finish checked off my list for this quarter's Finish-A-Long at Quilter in the Gap.
In addition to the quilt I made a couple of bibs using this Clover and Violet tutorial for the small one and this tutorial by Kim for the larger one.
Last night I went for a visit and gave the gifts to the happy new parents and they were thrilled. I was delighted to get to have gorgeous cuddles with the little baby boy, I'd forgotten how tiny newborns are! He is utterly darling and such a content baby. He slept in my arms for a little while and I had such a thrill thinking of having my own in the new year. So precious.
So now it's over to you... any finishes this week?
