SO WHAT ABOUT THOSE LITTLE FOXES?


Here they are on a couple of baby blankets.   There are 10 in each set.   I was going to bag the baby blanket, but the fluffy stuff is Coral Fleece and whilst lovely and soft, it is a shape shifter the minute you move it.    I ended up quilting the fleece and the flannelette and binding as a traditional quilt.    



The flannelette is very sweet too.   Spotlight stocks it.










The bag is made from one of my early test stitchouts.    
Front of the bag - finished

Back - free motion quilting with a variegated thread from Madeira.   


Inside the bag is a lovely pink and orange batik fabric. Plenty of pockets.


The base is held in place with some fabric covered elastic.


 This is the table runner with the 5x7 inch foxes.   How good does the hand dyed fabric look.

I would love to hear from you, just so I know I am not talking to myself - the cat is tired and so is the dog!
