A quilty commision

Hello, long time no see :)
A month or so ago I was approached by a lovely lady who wanted a purple quilt with woodland animals, I jumped at the chance...purple with woodland animals! I couldn't wait :)
Well the quilt is in it's new home and it's new owner loves it, which was a huge relief, so I feel I'm safe to post some pictures.

I would have happily kept this quilt, my favourite animals and colours. I also got a bit brave with the free motion quilting and it is quilted all over with flowers the result is very beautiful. 

I enjoyed making it immensely apart from the worrying as to weather she would like it or not, to pay quite a bit of money for something you have only seen pictures of is a big leap of faith I think.

Any way all turned out well and it kept me out of mischief in the holidays.

Now back to the reality of term time...it's been a fantastic summer holiday, best one yet, I hope you've all had a fantastic summer too. 

September is a wonderful month, I intend to enjoy it before I snuggle up in readiness for winter...I must post a September walk, things have changed a lot since the last one, see you soon

One week to go

It's that manic last few days of term...really?...already?...how can that be?
Did I sneeze and miss a year? I've been sneezing an awful lot recently, along with lots of other people I'm sure.
Once again I find myself in need of some crafty teacher gifts, both the girls teachers have been amazing, they have settled them both in seamlessly and I want to thank them because as you can imagine I'm so grateful to them all.
I spotted a while ago some lovely jars that the lady had wrapped in little quilts oh they where adorable, I can't find the post. I do remember that the lady had either designed or put together some lovely fabrics and she had made the jar wraps to show them off, she had made a whole range of kitcheny goodies. I believe it was called bake sale? any way if anyone knows the blog can you let me know so that I can link it.
So here is my version :)

I love these jars, I've filled them with sweets.

I can see them making lovely Christmas gifts too, in fact I've seen the big candle jars wrapped in them too, how lovely.

Enjoy the last few days of peace and I hope it's not too hectic for you all.

Would you like to walk with us again ?

You would, awesome...

 This way then, lets go.

There are so many lovely oak trees here, I love their shape and the dappled shade they give.

 Not that there's any need for shade today !

The light on the pond today was lovely, sort of misty....I tried to capture it...well you'll just have to take my word for it.

Very nearly home now, I don't mind these not so hot summer days, maybe next time it will be sunny :)

Yay well done Carly, thank you to everyone that entered, I wish I had prizes for all of you, it always seems so unfair just picking one name out of the hat....

Back tomorrow for another walk with Casper the dog.
