WOYWW....

Here we are at another Wednesday....one of the best days of the week when I can go snooping round all my blogging friends crafty spaces to see what they have all been up to this week.  I have had a great week so far.  My little twinnie munchkins came for their usual fun day with Nanny Annie yesterday and they stayed the night cos I have them again today...their mummy has to work the occasional extra day and today is one of those.  Great Aunty Jo is coming down today to allow me to open the shop up and to enjoy some quality time with the twins.

So on my desk today is what was left on their last night after the twins went to bed.....

My first completed LillyBo quilt.....and I'm thrilled to bits with it  :-)



Here is the quilt....it's about 70cm x 100cm and I feel it would brighten up the day of any little girl or boy who isn't feeling at their best.

I've joined in the fun over at Pixie's playground with this quilt  because it's made of lots of snippets  :-)



I've made a matching bag for it to go in so it could be used as a pillow to snuggle up on if need be.


The bag is lined with red fabric and has a little pocket inside.....I wonder who this is peeping out?

Meet Scamp.  There is a little Westie on the picture in the middle of the quilt so of course I just had to knit one of my favourite little dogs to go with the quilt.

This will soon be parcelled up and on it's way to Jo over at Jozart who is organising the LillyBo quilt blog.

Hope you like it Jo  :-)

Thanks for dropping by today.  I will probably have to do my return visits later on today when the twins go home or tomorrow in between catching up on my sewing jobs but I promise I will do my best to drop in on as many of you as I can.
Hugs,
Annie x

Don't forget to pop and have a look at the smiley posts this week and link your own smiley pics for the week here.
After all there are always days when we need a smile and it's so lovely to share our smiles with others.  Come on....lets make the world a happier place.  :-)

Gorgeous makes Annie. I especially love the bag with the little westie.Where did you get the pattern for him? I would love to have a go knitting one.

Brilliant! Will be down asap. x Jo

Di said...

WOW and double wow Annie!! Both you and Jo are hard at work. I love the quilt and the bag is great - but the little Westie is such an adorable addition to totally complete the set. Perfect, and made with a lot of love I'm sure!

Happy WOYWW,

Hugs, Di xx #38

Lovely quilt. Was just thinking how cute the little dog was on the centre and the next thing you've made one! Like you said a boy or a girl would adore this.

Beautiful quilt Anne and sure to make any child feel comforted. I'm struggling a bit with mine - sorting out the size and colour combination. Goodness knows how I will go on making a bag as well (Jan has given me a link to a site with free patterns for that).

A lovely quilt Annie, and I especially like the westie! I am sure it will bring a smile to a poorly little one. i love the idea of the LillyBo quilts, but I am not a sewer by choice, and I am still up to my eyes with my Knit for Africa project.

Lynn Holland said...

Late visits too Annie. Your wonderful quilt, bag and scamp brought a tear to my eye they are so lovely and you are so kind and clever.
Hope you enjoyed your day with the little ones.

Well there’s no desk pictures from me this week but I just wanted to stop by a few friends to see they were up to.

Oh Annie, that quilt and bag are fantastic and how cute is that little doggie. You’ve done a great job for a fantastic project.

Happy Crafting!
