I am chuffed to bits!

Remember a few days back I mentioned Boo and I snuggling up under the quilt I made her? Well, I thought I'd show it off a bit. It's the first quilt I've ever made and now I want to make a million more! Saying that, this one was supposed to be finished a little while ago (ok, a BIG while ago) but now it's finished I want to start another one straight away! It's got mistakes unique, quirky bits all over it but I love it and, more importantly Baby Boo does too.

I did that twirly, whirly stitching (stippling?) which I think looks pretty cool and feeding the quilt through the machine gave me biceps to be proud of. Who knew quilting was such a workout?! Right, off to pick out fabric for quilt number 2.

PS. Sorry about the grey skies. I did ask the weather fairy for blue with a hint of fluffy cloud but she muttered something about budget cuts and so that was that. Linking to Whipperberry's Friday Flair with the 'Baby Boo Quilt'.

Today = Awesomeness

Today has been such a lovely day. I arrived in the UK late Wednesday night and spent a lovely day yesterday with my Mum and Step-dad. This morning I got up and spent a little time on this wee blanket that is slowly growing day by day...

Then I made heart shapes out of the yarn....as you do...

THEN... and here's the best bit... I drove across the North York Moors (in thick fog) to pick up my Baby Boo from boarding school for her half term holiday! Hurrah! I am complete again. We got back to Mum's, tucked in to mince and mashed potatoes and then snuggled up under Boo's patchwork quilt, which I only just finished yesterday, and watched the Chronicles of Narnia.

I am now snuggled up in bed with my whole world snoring next to me. I give it half an hour before I'm fighting her for the quilt.... Welcome home, Baby Boo xxx
