Quite awhile ago Lowell posted a picture of L and I sewing, I have been mostly sewing strips for a bargello quilt using the material (Fabricland gift certificate) I received for Christmas. However I have completed a different project that I can show you. A long time ago, a friend sent me this Winnie-the-Pooh panel, L loved lying on it and looking at the bright colours. I had always intended to quilt it, finally I have done just that. Nothing complicated, but I did try something new with the triangles as a border.

I was reading Quiltpixie’s blog today. She wrote that she often buys material with gifts in mind, but rarely gives them away thinking the finished product isn’t good enough. I can totally sympathize with this viewpoint, I have been guilty of the same. More often I do give the item away, cringing a little as a I do. So I thank all the recipients of my experiments for being so gracious and allowing me to play.

Since you are indulging me already; I will post another picture of my very cute son. Sometimes (more often then not) he is too smart for his own good, he now knows where and how to get to the Cheerios. Here he is helping himself to a snack.
