Naptime Stitching..........: Best Day Ever!
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/07/best-day-ever.html
Friday, 31 July 2015. Fabric range was mostly Best Day Ever by April Rosenthal and it was a super day when I finally finished this and got to use it! And I'm in love with it. The colours are just happy and lively! Exactly what I wanted! My 11yr old picked the backing and binding colour.turns out he has a pretty good eye! I had planned some scattered hexies on the back but they didn't look right so it's ended up plain. But I might add some larger ones at a later date! Isn't it so pretty and totally girlie?

Naptime Stitching..........: January 2015

Wednesday, 28 January 2015. Samples, Samples, Samples. This week and next, I'm busy making samples for The Quilt Shop in Tuam. They're simple little projects to show what can be done with certain items in the shop. Last week, I showed you the little cushion made with a Moda Mini Charm pack and Perle Cotton. This week, we got a gorgeous bunting panel in and I was so taken with it that I bought one for myself along with taking one to make as a sample! I'm easing my husband into the idea!

Naptime Stitching..........: December 2014

Wednesday, 17 December 2014. Storm At Sea Quilt. Sometimes you see something and you get a teeny bit obsessed with it. I happened upon a Storm At Sea pattern a few months ago. I can't remember what appealed to me first but I started googling the pattern and my search revealed a whole host of variations. I was completely taken by it, it's total versatility! My sewing room floor. My poor sewing room floor. I meant to take a picture but I'd like you all to think that I'm a pillar of organisation and...Let's...

Naptime Stitching..........: Hexie Love!
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/05/pretty-fabric-love.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. My father had a short stay in Intensive Care a couple of months ago, just before he passed away. We spent long days and evenings at the hospital. I know I got a few funny looks while I sat in the family room with my little. Recently, I won a little prize from colourmehappy2 on instagram. I showed you the picture of my prize in my last blog post but this is it again. I tried two methods of basting - firstly, I was using a tacking stitch. It's easy, it makes the paper or card tem...

MFT Camp Create - Spectacular Shakers. Are you still with me on this MFT Camp Create journey? O) I hope you are! It's the 5th and final card share today, and today's theme is.shaker cards! Love love love shakers! I was already in the zone of shaped cards from the previous creation. And so I took on myself making not only a shaker card, but I decided to make a shaped shaker card! And I am quite pleased to say that - even though it was fiddly as hell - the end result makes me rather happy! The coming weeks...

Naptime Stitching..........: Baby Aoifes Quilt
http://naptimestitching.blogspot.com/2015/07/baby-aoifes-quilt.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2015. So I have finally got my sew-jo back but the problem with getting back in the swing of things is that you get a "need" to make so many different things, ideas that were floating around and you were pushing to the back burner. Once you have the time and energy to sew proeprly again, you really want to make them all! So I have been sewing all sorts of things, not blogging a whole lot in recent months but life has been busy! Oh and I'm finally remembering to add labels to my quilts!
