It’s been ages since I last blogged which is mainly down to
having a new job, which is nice a busy on the 3 days I work, but sadly not
allowing for lunch time blogging. Then in the evenings I’ve been getting that
change of the season hibernation feeling where I just want to snuggle up and
fall asleep on the sofa in front of Masterchef with the Mr.
However, despite this I managed to finish the quilt I’ve
been working on for the past couple of months and yesterday I handed it over to
its intended owners, my oldest and dearest friend Shanthini at her wedding to
the lovely Marc.
Shan and I were born on the same day and our parents met in
the beds next to each other while waiting to give birth. Ever since we’ve had a
very special relationship, I’d say one of unconditional sisterly comfort with
each other. So it was really important for me to give her something meaningful
for one of the most important days of her life. My hope is that the quilt will
become a family heirloom and keep her, Marc and their family warm for years to
come.

I loved making the quilt and it has spurred me on to get out
my half-finished Christmas quilt and get working on it. Want to take bets on if
it will be ready for Christmas 2011?
