Polaroid Quilt
I love making quilts for babies.
When Holly announced she was expecting we chatted about a theme with her suggestions consisting of fat stripes, nautical/ ocean, whales and stuff.
I looked through may stash and noticed I didn't have anything nautical. I asked a few fellow crafters and they were more than happy to gift me some fabric.
I mostly used fabrics from my stash.
The quilt has now made it safe and sound and being enjoyed by its tiny and adorable new owner

Happy 9th Birthday
Master B today you are 9!
I feel like I blinked and now you are another year older
Your love of lego has increased ten fold (and yes we brought you more for your birthday)
You are so determined and stubborn which I'm sure will pay off when you need a job
The moments when you play so well with Master W make me smile
You love any playground we visit
I think you would be in the water every second of every day if you could be
You have finally made the transition away from needing your moose
but I'm happy he can now can live on Mum and Dad's bed
Your glasses are doing a great job to help with your reading and writing
I think they make you look so grown up
You love to read and quietly come and listen when ever anyone is reading aloud
You always want to give something a go even if you are not too sure
You play a great game of chess
I love the funny photos I find on the camera
our family photos always make me laugh
Happy 9th Birthday Master B
We love you to the moon in back in a mystery machine xxx
