Blogtoberfest Day #6 ~ Teaching & Quilting

Mum popped over today keen to learn how I make the fabric buttons and help out with market preparations for this Friday nights market I have. Only a 3 hour market from 6-9pm but if we go by the last one that was run in winter, it will be a huge night with a big crowd.
So, I showed mum how to make the buttons and she got busy making badge buttons and small flatbacks ready to turn into bracelets - well done mum!
And while mum was busy doing that and watching Master T while Miss M slept I got busy rag quilting again - very addictive and a fantastic way to use up my fabric scrap stash and those little pieces of batting that I didn't know what to do with. These 3 pretty quilts all measure approx 30 x 30 inches, are backed with pretty flannel, and will be great as pram/travel/comfort quilts. They will be available for purchase at Friday nights market and what doesn't sell I'll pop into my madeit store over the weekend.

  5. Very pretty! I have a lovely one made from antique roses on flannel. The perfect thing to curl up on the couch with and watch TV.
