WOYWW....

Hi Folks.  Here we are at 4th Birthday celebrations plus one week  :-)

It's a quick post from me today cos I'm busy busy busy  :-)  I have my two maps to show you where I have sent 35 celebration ATCs to...




My UK friends



Plus so many friends all round the world too.  :-)








I have already had some really gorgeous ATCs from those who asked to swap with me and I have collaged them to share all the wonderful effort that has been put into making them.  I have been really busy with extra shifts with my gorgeous little munchkins so have been unable to email you each personally to say thank you so please accept an apology and my thanks now.  I love each and every one of them and plan to make another display with them when they have all arrived.  Please click on the collages to see them in more detail.

The other thing I have to share with you today is the latest LillyBo quilt I've made.  It was one of those times when all the word around me was filled with sad news and I am a great believer in keeping busy at times like that and doing something very positive.  I quickly sorted out some matching fabrics and the quilt just appeared...as if by magic.....guess I was rather lost in my thoughts.  Isn't it beautiful?  I just love how it's turned out and am certain a poorly little girl will just love it....esp the little doll that I've made to go in the pocket of the bag.....What do you think?

Of course it is made of lots of snippets of my fabric stash so I am entering it for Di's Crafty snippets playground challenge for this week....I haven't been to play there for a while so I do hope the playmates are kind to me.


 


Thanks for dropping by today.  I have a lot of catching up with sewing to do today but if you leave me a little hello I will pop by when I get a minute to see what you've been up to this week.
Hugs,
Annie x

    That's a lovely quilt, Annie...isn't it weird how some projects go together so quickly and others...well, it's long and protracted and never works quite right! The dolly is the extra finishing touch!

    Hi Annie!

    LOVE your quilts, bag and the lovely dolly - gosh you really are such a busy lady.

    And I adore my ATC from you - just trying to make mine to reciprocate after the shenanighans of recent weeks and then the weekend itself. Yes, everything was so well appreciated - it made all the angst and work so worthwhile.

    Happy WOYWW!

    Hugs, Di xx

    Lots of lovely ATCs there Annie. I love the way we can communicate with folk all over the world through our common interest.
    The quilt is beautiful. I am sure some poorly girl will love it, and understand the love that went into the making of it. Kate x #34

    Oh wow! 35 ATCs. That sure is a lot of stitching done. But again, that only you! :)
    Glad my ATC got there on time and I love all the others you've received.
    That little quilt is so adorable. Love how you always add a stuffed animal or doll to the bag. So precious! ♥

    Happy WOYWW. xx
    P.S.
    It's my blogiversary and I've got candy to celebrate!

    Hi Annie, what a wonderful collection of ATCs you've received so far - mine is a bit late but it did go in the post today :) Loved looking at the maps to see where they all came from. Your display is going to look fabulous. And, I'm still chuckling at the munchkins' chuckles in the previous post - Lexi is so generous too to part with her desert :)) Have a happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #57

    You’ve certainly a lovely collection of ATC’s there Annie and everyone is so different. It’s great seeing all the artistic talent out there isn’t it.

    Your latest quilt is stunning and as you say, a little girl is going to be very happy to receive that wonderful gift.
    When I get back from my holiday I’ll get down and make some more cards for Jo because at the rate you’re turning out the quilts she’s going to need them sooner rafter than later.

    Have a great week and……..
    Happy Crafting!

    I think the quilt and dolly plus the bag will make some little girl the envy of her friends and she will be so content snuggled up in it. Wonderful!

    Love the map you have done - brilliant idea and some lovely atc's you have there.

    Sorry I am so late - making the most of this rare sunshine.

    Hugs, Neet xxx

    Great desk. All those ATCs are amazing. I wish I'd gotten my act together and taken part. Maybe I'll start now for next year!

    Your quilt is so sweet, especially the little friend.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

    Wow! It really is a stunner... you are ace and I hope making it washed away some of the sadness you've had. We reap as we sew and that means you should only get nice things in return.
    It has been so lovely here spending time with the little fraulein and seeing DD2 blossoming towards the little boy she's expecting. Lazy days in the sun with family in such a beautiful location certainly is a blessing!
    Love jo x
