Bad weather makes

The only plus side to this weather is that it is ok to sit inside and sew!  I seem to have finished quite a few things recently and its mostly thanks to the weather

I made this and finished it off last weekend

 This is just a small quilt that I made out of some scraps for the little girl of a work collegue of Jennys (she works in Asda at the weekends)
 Her little one year old daughter has been very poorly, resulting with her ending up in Great Ormond Street
 She was in London for a few weeks, but is now back home. The doctors arn't sure what was wrong with her.  She had meningitis symptons and lots of fits but tests were negative for meningitis
 The quilt is for little Lily.  Jenny is going to go and see them next week.  I have never had so much trouble FMQ'ing as I did with this! The thread kept snapping, I thought I may have been using a duff batch of thread it snapped that often
 Still, I got there in the end!  I bought my binding in my LQS - its a pink paisley and looks great on this quilt.  It was nice to quilt for a purpose.  I would like to do more of these little quilts for the Farleigh ladies, they are quick and easy and hopefully would sell well for them
 And, of course, the weather is good for other makes as well.......
