Baby Items

After hearing of a friend making her own bibs for her baby, I thought I would give it a go. Friends are expecting a baby girl shortly so I whizzed up some bibs of various sizes - simply because I have no idea how big or small bibs are! - using bamboo terry towelling for the backs and using pink snaps. This required a special tool, which wasn't the cheapest. Overall I'm pleased with the results and they are very cute!

I also made a baby comforter blanket, using the same material as the bibs, as well as adding ribbons of varying textures.

Angus show Results

Well, it's over a month since the Angus Show and my submissions for the Ladies tent. I was disappointed at not getting awards for my foodstuff so it clearly means cooking isn't for me :) However I won 3rd prize for my patchwork quilt (see April post), also a 3rd for my handbag! So I was really pleased with that and the winners were worthy of awards as their work was incredible. Definitely a standard to aim for. Programme for next year's show is out in October, plenty of time to hone my skills at quilting.
