Commissioned for a friend from school's forthcoming baby, this quilt features some old royal commemorative tablecloths (not sure which event they were from - approx 1940's), one of the last remaining bits of my William Morris fabric, some new (?Cath Kidstone) cowboy-themed fabric and of course lots of liberty print and plain brightly coloured silk remnants thanks to Ayten Gassen Lingerie. Looking forward to seeing the baby it is for!

Amelia and Sophia's blankets
One of my favourite people recently had twins. They are gorgeous. No
surprise there.
Both girls have a similar blanket in very slightly
different colour-ways, pink-heavy by request.
Alternate patches in silk to fit in with the more traditional colour-scheme. For the first time I have used a patterned backing with a sweet koala bear face on it, I think this will fit in well to their beautiful nursery that Emma and Nick have made ready for them now they are finally back home!

James + Charlotte's Blanket
A commission for some friends who have just moved in together. Backed
with dark grey wool, another heavy blanket, with bright patterns from
around the world.
They once made a devisive green tea panna cotta, which is honoured with some pieces of jade cotton with gold detail that my Aunt brought back from a trip to China about 25 years ago. Glad it has found a good home with Goat and Charlotte. The cactus is one of my favourite new additions to my fabric mountain.

Marley's Bunting
Another very very late present for a mega cute baby...
Name bunting recently described "a must" for anyone with children by the stylish and talented J. Charles.
Again sorry for the terrible photo.

Bespoke blankets - Baby Emily
A friend from work is having a baby girl. I had a feeling she would want something a bit more glam than I usually make, so I picked up some tips to make a suitably elegant present for her imminent arrival.
