Child's play

I may have to change my name to my friend's blog, Naptime Quilter. But being a grandma rather than a mum means I'll not be quilting during nap time but joining the bed and blankie brigade. The good news is that 30 minutes does it well enough for me. lol

Journal quilt number 6 is the crayon drawing I made.

Now Josh seems to like the back the best. ???

We had spread an eye spy quilt I made way way back when I first met Cheryl out on the hallway floor. (see first photo) We had all shared novelty prints that represented the 26 letters of the alphabet and then I hand appliqued lower case letters on mine. I had lots of time as grandchildren didn't arrive till some years later. But when Josh saw the crayons on the back of my quiltlet he went over and studied the eye spy quilt which has C for crayon and yup, it is the same fabric. (It is gonna be hard to fool this little guy!) LOL

Needless to say I am a bit behind on the colour palette placemats and I need to be sewing while the little guy snores. SHHHHH!

Calming down

The quilt colours anyway. Grandkid's quilts have been edited by their mum. Second opinions aren't always welcome but I concur. The print is the accent for a colourful backing fabric. The squares will be calmer in a busy room with lime green spreads and aqua wall decor.

But now my hair is too calm and I need to primp it up a bit so it is off to the parlour. Do they use that word anymore? LOL But some corn processing is also in the mix. Summer is surely simmering!
