{tillytom swimwear collection 2012} giveaway time!

I recently launched my first release of girls Swimwear. A new direction for my tillytom label - stayed tuned for more styles in 2013 with the introduction of a boys line as well as some more new styles for the girls.

The swimwear is all handmade here in Australia, using the most gorgeous bright swimsuit fabrics that are manufactured here in Australia.

The fabrics are chlorine resistant and UPF 50+.

The swimsuits offer generous coverage for a halter style swimsuit, are fully lined both front and back and feature the cutest ruffles across the bottom as well as a single ruffle across the bodice.

Finished in white binding, the swimsuits are available in 3 colours; yellow, pink and aqua in sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Swimsuits are available to purchase from the online store now - www.tillytom.com.au

{Dolls Quilt Swap 2012} Sent and Received

I once again participated in a Dolls Quilt Swap (DQS) with some quilting friends this year. My fourth year I think now, and I love the challenge of coming up with something interesting, colourful, to the taste and requests of the recipient.

This year I was making for AJ, who requested a wall hanging. So my mind wandered through AJ's blog, checked out what she had received in past years and also spent quite a bit of time on pinterest for some inspiration!

I made AJ a small rectangle size dolls quilt with scrappy houses, a rolling hill, dark skies with the sun poking through and some pretty rain drop quilting with a combination of variegated and metallic threads which sparkle in the light.

I received this year from Rachel, who made a little dolls quilt for Miss 4 - which quickly found a new home on her bed keeping a selection of her dolls all snuggled up for bedtime.
