A Quilty Post!!!

I realised when I had a lovely comment from Jo yesterday regarding my quilts that I have a few more to show you which I have not added to My Quilts page!  So as you know this is supposed to be a quilting blog but has turned over the years into yes Quilting but also my crazy life!  Anywho here are some quilts I have made but not shown you!

This is Little Man’s first quilt I have made for him.  I just love the colours in this quilt and it is such a Boy quilt. 

I got some lovely Christmas material a while ago which I did show you but I made them up for Christmas two years ago and sure enough they got put away separately to the Christmas decorations and we have not found them since, until we started to sort the attic out!  Found them now!

I drape these over the back of chairs.

Our very good friends, Pat & Alan, bought a caravan to go on holiday after the Covid years and so for Alan’s Birthday I decided to make him a quilt for when they go in the van.  I managed to get some caravan material and also some seaside material.  I chose a blue spot to got with the blocks and on the back used some lovely green material that my very good friend Susan sent me.  It really went very well with the blocks. 

Pat, Alan’s wife, said it was too nice to go in the caravan!!! 

I got the flower fabrics at The Festival of Quilts years ago.  I don’t know about you but sometimes I have to wait for the right project to use a set of fabrics and this came to me when I found this grey checked fabric to make this little lap quilt.  It was a House Warming gift for Chloe who is at The Spa I use and does all my Spa jobs. 

I will put these onto My Quilts Page too.  I love having them there to see what I have made over the years.

We got the painting of the kitchen, den, laundry and downstairs bathroom finished, although the house is still in a mess because we have not had time to clear everything up yet.  DH was out all day yesterday at the swimming event so I am spending today to try and get things tidy again!  We are hoping to get the little bit of painting done in the upstairs Bathroom at the weekend.  We are planning on getting our room done at the long weekend at the end of May and then the dining room at the long weekend at the end of August!  Well that is the plan.  The sewing room is quite small and will be painted brilliant white so we might be able to get that done in a weekend, when we have one spare!!!

We have had high winds and rain here today. This little rat lied in February!  Early Spring my eye!  I am not sure if Spring is ever going to put in an appearance but we may just go straight into Summer!  Thanks Phil for nothing!!!!

I hope you lovely lot had a wonderful weekend and a great week to come. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

    Phil was a liar this year!! Umpired Friday night and barely got one game in before the rest of the night had to be called because the snow was coming down so hard we couldn’t see the ball!!! Your quilts are lovely and I’m so glad you could use the fabric I sent you for the backing – fabric is so expensive in the UK compared to here!! Love Tobey’s quilt – the sashing makes each fussy-cut square look like a postage stamp!!! Just like he would use to send you postcards through his life denoting the things he loves!!! Well done!! You have been busy with the painting…would love to see pictures when you get put back together!

    Tobey’s quilt is a beauty as they all are. No way could I choose one as a favorite! We haven’t seen much spring around here either with all the rain and winds and cold. Hopefully, it will change soon.
