This year I decided to do something really special and share my new found love of quilting and sewing with my family so I've made some presents. The toys have worked out MUCH cheaper than buying them in a shop which is perfect because we've set a family spending limit on presents this year. They are just over 2 fat quarters each.
This is Quack Quack and Bunny. They're are for my 18 month old twin nieces, one of which only says "Quack Quack" all the time. "What noise does a pig make Alice?" "Quack Quack". They still need faces but apart from that they're all done.

Then I made this quilt for my Father and Step-mother. Their spare room is entirely Navy and White so I designed this to go over the end of the bed. I couldn't really afford to make a full size quilt for their double so this is twin(ish) size.

I also saved some money by using a bed sheet for the back. Since it's decorative and only going to be used occasionally I don't think anyone will notice.

Now back to the sewing machine ...
