Guest Posting at Me Sew Crazy

Hi All,  Today I am so very excited to be "blogsitting" at Me Sew Crazy sharing a Baby Burp Cloth Tutorial (I needed some new ones with baby number two due in 11 weeks).  

If you haven't you meet Jessica from Me Sew Crazy you need to go and check out her blog - like right now (Make sure you have a couple of spare hours to take in all of her amazing things.  But please come back, I love visitors.)   

I am sure you will agree - she is one super talented lady - just check out her incredible list of tutorials (most of which are cute outfits she has made for her princess).  Below are a few of my Fav's!   

Jessica has just had a baby and reached out for blogsitters while she readjusts to life with a new bub in the house.  For those of us who have been blessed with children you will know just how much love, cuddles, energy and time they take up - but who would trade it for anything.  With all this happening blogging can be the last thing you feel like (or have the time) to do so I am grateful for the opportunity I have to guest post my burp cloth tutorial while Jessica spends time with her new little man. 

Hadspen Car Boot Sale and Christmas Market

Tomorrow Hadspen Lions Club is holding a Car Boot Sale and Christmas Market at the End of Main Street, Hadspen (on the river bank) from 8am to 1pm. It is a no fuss event - no applying or approval process to go through for a stall - just rock up, pay the $5 stall fee and that’s it! This time (because it Christmas is on the way) they are having a fee jumping castle for the kids, face painting for $5 and a $1 sausage sizzle. Who doesn’t love a sausage sizzle?!
Why am I telling you all this? Well I have decided to have a stall and for the past week or so I have set aside my quilting projects to focus on making products for my stall.
You will find many of my different canvases designs including the ever popular cute as a button canvases along with some appliquéd onsies and t-shirts for bub.

I wish I had a little boy to wear the t-shirt with the cute new whale design!

These make the perfect Christmas, birthday or baby shower gift. Any products that don’t sell will be added to my made it store (which is VERY empty at the moment - SORRY) after Saturday. So if you want to have first pick head on over to Hadspen for the car boot Sale and Christmas Market this Saturday 11th December and grab some bargains!

Wheels

Yesterday and today day have not been the most productive for me. I have been in bed for most of the time trying to get rid of a migraine (its all good though, I suffer from them regularly so I know what to do to get rid of them ). Hubby has had to work from home so he could care for our Princess (I am so blessed that he is able to do that). But on the upside I do have a new pattern to share.

Introducing ‘Wheels’ this cot sized quilt is designed for the little man or men in your life. Featuring stylish appliquéd numbers and a boyish transport theme every man, little or big is sure to love!

I love the back of this quilt just as much as the front. As I often do I ordered more fabric than I needed so that I would have extra left over to make the back special too. I have also included fabric requirements to make this back too.

Believe it of not I started this quilt before ‘Baby 123’ but I wasn’t 100 % happy with the design so I set it aside for a while then came back to it and made a few tweaks and this is what I came up with. I am REALLY excited with how this turned out.

You're probably wondering if girls can enjoy ‘wheels’ too? Well our Princess loves cars and when she sees the quilt says, “broom, broom, car” so I suppose "yes" would be the answer.

This quilt was quilted at Esmes. Yep that’s right people Lillian has a one stop shop - fabric, machines, patterns, kits and a quilting service. Who knew?!

If you would like to purchase a copy of Wheels for yourself and your favourite store doesn’t have them in stock ask them to order one in for you or contact me directly.

If you are a store owner and would like to stock this or any other Clares Place pattern's feel free to contact me to place an order.

Fabrics: Riley Blake - Wheels
