Striped Rainbow Quilt continued

Creative Mama 3 comments

I now have a very long 30 meters of rainbow fabrics sewn together for the striped rainbow quilt.

strips ironed and cut

I decided to sew the strips directly on to the batting

The great thing with this rainbow quilt is I am just using fabrics I already had (and possible buying a few more) after having a good long look at my stash and finding fabrics that fit with this quilt being a more unconventional rainbow.

The basic colours I have are grey - white - pink - red - orange - yellow - green - blue - purple - brown

I am yet to decide how exactly the back will look but this is growing pretty quick. Hope to have it finished very soon!!!

Boxes complete

As a family this year we are filling boxes as Christmas gifts for other children. Operation Christmas Child Samaritan's purse.

Using the lists provided we filled the boxes.....

Master W helping pack the boxes

We did 2 girl boxes and 2 boy boxes!

After a few weeks of getting them filled we have them done! We hope these boxes bless other children and will bring a smile to them at Christmas.

Markets

With my first market done, my talented friend decided it would be a good idea to do two markets on the same day but with the plan to split our stuff and each do a market - I would do the New Beginnings market and her the Encraftment Market

We did a table layout a few days before and also prepared for plan B- as rain was forecast for the day and the New Beginnings market was outside.

table set up a few days before

After only having 3 hours sleep and a child unwell I got up Saturday sleep deprived, drizzle, a hint of clear sky and large dark rain clouds looming......it rained cats and dogs that day! You can see a photo here of the New Beginnings Market.

We used plan B and both were at Encraftment market

plan B table layout

It was a good day if you minus the rain and not being able to do a market due to the weather *sad face*. New Beginnings will be back again on the 1st December!

I have a few things left listed on felt

Time sure does fly! Last year we took time away with the boys for our wedding Anniversary. This year we got to spend 2 days alone in Akaroa earlier in the month.

Master B has a school growing competition of sunflowers. I thought it would be fun to grow us each one as a family. We are enjoying watching them growing on our kitchen windowsill.

Loved the school holidays

I really do love the school holidays. Time with the boys and Mr B and I could wear my pjs all day and no one would know!

Mr B and myself took the first few days and had some time out alone and went to Akaroa
