Annie and I worked hard on our quilts and here is my first one finished.
(She is, of course, Wonderwoman and has probably finished her second one by now!)
I bought a metre of pink fabric to trim it up but the rest is all from our fabric stashes.
AND just to complet the project, I made a patchwork bag to hold the quilt.
It will be going to Jo soon. She has set up the Lillybo Quilts project for poorly children.
So if you fancy having a go making one then just click on this link to Lillybo Quilts and find out all the details.
Now here is my Friday smile......
Look at him sitting next to a thimble showing you all just how small he is.
His name is Tanner and he came all by himself by plane from Canada!
He was beautifully hand felted by a very talented lady - Veronica of The Bearister Bookcase
We swapped crafty items and Vee made him specially for me - I love him.
He has been helping me choose colours and patterns for my quilts - he soon realised how indecisive I was and stepped in to make a few BIG decisions - lol!
He certainly puts a smile on my face - I hope he does the same for you.
Join in with Annie's Friday smile - follow the link here.
Have a great week.
x Jo

Definitely a double smile there, both for the twin appearance of Tanner, before and after his great adventure, and for those lovely quilts. Thank you for your visit, and we certainly thought she looked beautiful. She arrived on a horse, sitting behind the Black Knight from Warwick Castle, led in by a troop of troubadours and a jester - a very colourful day. xx Maggie
Oh my Jo, love your quilt and patchwork bag, they are gorgeous but sorry, that wee bear stole the show and certainly made me smile!! That cute big head sitting there with its big feet... so adorable!! Annette
Gorgeous quilt Jo and well done Tanner for flying all the way to you like a big bear on his own!
