Mandy has used the D is for Dream Milestone Blanket panel and accompanying fabric to make a wonderful sample for us.
She cleverly used the block print fabric to make a frame to highlight the numbers and words in order to make it clear of the Milestone being celebrated for baby. The frames were made by sandwiching pelmet vilene between the top and the backing fabrics to give stiffness.
Luna Lapin and Tilda Fox kindly modelled for us to give you an idea of the use of a Milestone Blanket. No bunny was harmed by the fox during the taking of these photos!!
We love Mandy’s idea and her quilting with little ducks, bottles and rattles is divine.
A lovely lady called Pam Woods started the embroidered pictures on this Gardener’s Journal Quilt, which Mandy inherited & has now completed & I think you’ll agree, is absolutely beautiful!
The Gardener’s Journal Quilt has been designed by Anni Down’s of Hatched & Patched & is in her book “A Gardener’s Journal”.
There are many small individual projects in the book, each using one of the adorable stitchery designs, or you can complete them all and make the full quilt.
Here are some close up photos of Mandy’s beautiful quilt.
Mandy has been using Songbook fabrics to make a stunning quilt she saw in the Homespun magazine issue 205. She’s used a Songbook Layer Cake, or you could cut your own pieces from a fat 1/8th or fat 1/4 bundle too. It has a background made from one Bella Solid Charm pack for a small quilt, or 1.5m of cream background fabric for a larger quilt. Love the quilting Mandy!
