Hello all. Today I'm sharing a photo of what is on my desk at the mo...
I was chatting with a customer I had last week and she told me she was the mother of a beautiful little boy who died sadly of cancer. Since his death she had set up a charity in his memory and I offered to make an eye spy quilt for her to raise money with. It's been a long time since I made one of my eye spy quilts but I know how much they are loved and just how much quality time can spent playing with one and am really enjoying going through my fabrics [and some of Jo's...thanks Jo] to find squares each with something to search for and talk about.....they are such a wonderful learning resource if used well.
I have found exactly enough wadding and just have to find some backing fabric so I can finish making it.
Today I have a bride coming and another lady needing a dress altering before the weekend so I will be a busy bee and I will be MIA for a couple of weeks after as we will be catching up with some very special friends ....I will tell you more on our return.
Hugs,
Annie x

Love your eye spy quilt. What a lovely thoughtful thing to make, I know it will be quite an eye catcher for the charity.
Hope the couple of weeks you are missing are enjoyable and the weather is kind for you to enjoy who you are with.
