Time to continue on with the best  of the blog project. This time I am sharing some of the wonderful photos I have taken of characters. Because there are so many photos I have broken this episode up into three parts. This first part is mainly fictional characters!

And I love taking photos of  Merry-go-rounds!   As you will discover as you read on....

Edith's 4th Birthday

 

Happy Birthday Edie, now 4!

And Florrie's a big girl too, although going through the 'I don't want to talk to you, stage.

There was a 'Bluey' themed swimming pool cake.

My Mum, got to meet baby Ruby for the first time, she now has 5 great grandchildren. The four on our side and my sisters new grandson Toby. (Cot quilt coming soon for Toby).

Sean and Rose have started their 'extension', which is about 5 times the size of the current house, so its basically building a new house on the back of the old one.

The next cot quilt! The Wiggles 'Big Red Car' for baby Ruby

Another one finished.

Quilt number 45 I think, I'll have to do a tally.

This is another great center panel with a pieced keyboard border .

It has a music theme backing and quilting.

I've taken it to show Miss Ruby, but then brought it home again as they are in the middle of renovating their house. I'll take it back when the house is finished, along with its partner quilt. 

The second quilt is amazing! The girls will be very excited about it, here's a hint - yellow and black bows - I have made dozens of intricate little cute patchwork Emma bows!

I have ALL the Wiggles on the label.

Its their 30th anniversary year.

For the first time I've in included a quilt journal. 

Although I've been jokingly calling it a instruction manual.

Here it is below with more info on the making of this quilt... let me know if there's any typos!
