Hello all. I'm sorry I didn't make it to join in the fun last week....it was an eventful week as many of you will know from reading my Friday post. I'm pleased to say things have settled down again now but we are expecting more ups and downs over the next few weeks so I may have to go AWOL again.....as long as our little grandson arrives safe and well we will do all we can to help out.
It's strange but when I have family demands I never have customers and last week was one of those weeks so, when I was able, I spent my time sewing for pleasure...
The cot quilt is now finished. I tried to do do the panels with applique but soon realised that to make it washable it would all have to be securely sewn in place and it didn't look right so I found some fabric panels to replace them...and am rather pleased with the results.
There were spare panels and fabrics so I have also made a matching cushion for the chair in the baby's nursery and matching bunting too.
I then made 12 little 'favour bags' for the up and coming baby shower party [just hope she makes it til then!]. They are rather cute and will decorate the table well.
I hope you have all had a great week. If you leave me a little message I will do my best to pay you a return visit asap.
Hugs,
Annie x

Glad things worked out after the scare Annie and hope the antibiotics do the trick. The quilt, cushion and bunting are fabulous and the goodie bags are cute too. Hope this week is a little less exciting all round. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #?
Morning Annie, while I’m waiting to link up with Julia I’ve popped back to see what was happening at your house on Friday. What a good job you are on hand and I’m glad it all worked out in the end. Fancy Theo doing Wordle with you haha, I’m a bit hooked on it myself. Milly looks very pretty with her shiny cut coat. She looks rather pleased now it’s done.
Back to today, oh my what a beautiful quilt and cushion the nursery will look so bright and cheery.
Have a good week, fingers crossed there’s no more emergencies

Fabulous quilt and favour bags. Lovely work. Happy WOYWW Angela #2
Wow, just read your post below - what as scary time that must have been for all of you. But what a treat when your little grandee came for a snuggle - and a wordle!!
Love the baby quilt you have made and the cushion and the bunting - what a lucky family they are to have you and your sewing. No wonder they treasure you so much.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx

So glad that Gina and baby are OK, and really hope he stays put for a while longer! Love the quilt, cushion and little bags. So beautiful. Happy WOYWW. Take care & God Bless, Caro xxx (#10)
Hellooo Annie, I just read your last post .. worrying time,, hoping Gina is doing okay with the infection clearing 🤗 Such beautiful makes and ones I'm sure will be treasured 💕❤💛 Sending hugs your way Tracy #23 xxxxx
Hi Annie, not sure where I've been today and now it's nearly bed time. Pleased to hear that everything has settled down for a while. The cot quilt is gorgeous and the extras too. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x5x
Lovely cover for the cot and lovely pillow. Beautiful shower favors. Wishing the best for mother and future baby. Happy day! #24
Oh my word Annie you’ve had a week! Relieved and happy that your grandson is safe and mummy is holding on, every day now is a step toward non preemie and less worry. The quilt is absolutely gorgeous, and I know it will be a hug from Nanny every time it’s used. Are those baby shower bags destined to hold sweeties, it’s a very posh way to give a goodie bag!
I hope Gina’s ok Annie. She must be so relieved to have you on hand. I don’t have children and hadn’t heard of “tightenings”. My aunt was a midwife in Stoke; she would have known the term.
Your cot blanket is lovely; what a nice quilt to snuggle under. So glad your grandson likes Wordle, even if it is at 6am!
Take care and fingers crossed for the rest of Gina’s pregnancy,
Hugs
