loved up

Well, it's new years eve...a special day for us since we found out I was having twins two years ago today! Boy did life change for us but in such a good way. We've actually spent the day cleaning out clothes, toys and the house to get a nice clean start for the new year and 8 boxes later I think we have made a little dent. So no crafting today but last night I managed to quilt and bind my amy butler LOVE quilt...



I used a charm square pack from fat quarter shop, some white homespun with a little floral pattern on it and the binding I purchased yesterday (which happened to be a perfect combination and hello premade bias binding you make life so easy)....



I went for a more spaced out design with my free motion (thanks emma for the tip) and it made a real difference cutting my quilting time down by half but I really had to focus on not getting too close together.



keira grabbed a nice cuddle under it before bed last night eventhough she prefers her pink quilts.



And this quilt will hang over the couch hiding a few stained spots that have appeared recently (as in stains left by my lovely children!)



So, have a happy new year..............we'll be having a quiet night at home with our favourite takeaway pizza and some champagne (I only get through a few glasses of wine/champagne each year so it's a treat to have a glass tonight ...something happened after the twins and we just don't go together anymore but it's probably a good thing!)
