Finished the two quilts for next weekend's Christenings - well Keira's is Christening but Cody is 3 and is just accompanying brother! Robbie, their cousin and same age as Keira so sharing Christening, is getting a Winnie the Pooh compendium as he already has a quilt.



Pictures in my Webshots on Page 4 of quilts. Not brilliant pictures as the sun come out and I thought 'pictures, quick!' Keira's has since got a bit more quilting and just has to have the final ends buried (thanks again Pat for the handy hint about burying ends).



Also a picture in the same place of my one and only Treasure Box!


They're great Sally. I just love those aeroplanes! Glad the hint helped. Well done for getting them done. . In message , Sally Swindells writes

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh your box is beautiful! I love the tag with the description of the contents, too! Love it! I am NOT going to show this to DD, however. I don't want her to get any ideas about beading 169 boxes! The quilts are darling. I particularly like the airplanes. They look like they are flying in an air show.

Well, Sally! You've out-classed me. I've made an airplane quilt that is very similar to yours 'except' you were imaginative and turned your planes just buzzing every which way. Mine are flying in ho-hum formation. If ever I have another airplane attack, I'll borrow your happy air show. Happy dancing for you, Polly

Sally, both of these quilts are just great. I *love* Cody's airplanes, and Keira's quilt is so sweet and gentle-looking. :)

Thanks - I enjoy doing 'baby' quilts - not too far to go round with the binding - but prefer one at a time and with a longer time or with no definite deadline! I thought a 3 year old was unlikely to be critical of my fmq - I zoomed around looping the loop with a variety of stitch sizes!

The beads on the box were the quickest part, and the quilting with the silver thread the scariest, but the Topstitch needles were wonderful. The most fiddley bit was getting the little onion shapes to be the same size. Just a fraction out and they shouted.
