CHRISTENING CLOTHES GRANDCHILDREN

I made the shoes as well for the youngest one he looked lovely all in white.  The eldest one had a white top and black trousers, I was a very proud Nana that day.



Finally found the photos of the outfits I made for the grandchildren for their christening.

Back from Aussie after 5 weeks away, and decided to rev up my blog.  I just looked at Quilt Me Kiwi - so inspired - I am off on a sewing frenzy again - thanks Leeanne.

This is one of the Blocks of a new quilt designed by me and Ans called the "French Connection" it is a block of the month for the "Round Robin Quilters" at the Country Yard Maungatapere Northland New Zealand.  Can't show you the finished quilt yet as the girls are still working on it.  I am going to start quilting it next week.
