Goodbye Summer..

Hello Autumn..

Yes, I know its still August and yes I know I haven't been here since June (for that I apologise and have no real explanation for) but with the soggy summer we've had and today's miserable weather, you can't help but let your thoughts wander to Autumn and all that follows it.. golden / red leaves, conkers (if you are lucky enough to get there before the kids ;) ) Harvest Festival, Halloween and of course.. the big one.. Christmas!

As I mentioned in my last post, I had been asked to make a church banner to be used in a floral display.
Red fabric, blue lettering and gold fringing were all decided on for it with some wadding to make it easier to display. Turned out rather well don't you think?

I've got an order for a cot quilt to match some bunting, so lovely pinks and greens for a change. Then its a rag doll, never made one before so this is going to be a case of trial and error! Customer who has ordered the quilt, has a pregnant sister and from what my lady has told me, her sister might well be wanting a quilt/bumper/bunting set made for her baby girl.
I thought that all my friends were taking a break in the reproduction cycle for a while, not so..this baby is due in February.

There are also a couple of orders for some Christmas stockings ( 2 are definetly a baby's first and the others are possible orders)  and some Autumn / Halloween bunting :)

Happy times ahead :)
