A birthday and a quilt finish to boot!

Happy happy birthday to my wonderful, amazing beautiful daughter, you've made me proud and happy every minute of the last 7 years and I am so lucky.


And because of that I made you this



What you say is that?! Why its a chocolate Caterpillar of course! With little chocolate mice for feet. Ok, so I know where my strengths lie, which is why I sew for a living instead of making cake sculptures!

Last week I managed to finish up my Giant Starflower Quilt and finally got some sunshine to photograph it in today, it is amazing how much you can 'do' when your sewing machine is broken!







Quit Stats:

Vintage starflower
Made with vintage sheets/pillowcases
quilted with wavey lines
1 layer of 80/20 batting
Bound in vintage sheet by machine.

Any cake with chocolate in or on it will go down will with the little people (and me!). The quilt does look vintage. Love the vintageness.

My baking skills leave a lot to be desired unless you want flat things - biscuits are ok, cakes too flat!

Your caterpillar is yummy though - excuse for chocolate or what!

That is one cute quilt though - am really loving that block !
