I've been amazed by the number of alleged visitors to my site as reported by ClustrMap. So I've added Google Analytics and wonder what they will show.
Bear with me through my techie phase ... I'll soon add flickr too but then it should get better.

Plastic Surgery - duckie-style
Our resident cuddly duck has received a donour beak today and is doing well.
There have been complaints about the not-so-seamless fit but the Head of Surgery decided to ignore those ;-)

Happily quilting along ...
that seems to be the current theme here. Once I got my act together and assembled the whole thing, I could move to things I like better about quilting. I've rearranged all the animal panels along the grassy border and am currently appliqué-ing them.
And then, there is that small matter of the sun pattern to be dealt with. When I'm all done, I think I'll have problems letting go of it.

Simultaneous Engineering
Currently I'm working on two quilts at the same time ...
The Safari themed baby quilt whose receiver is due in late April and my lap quilt that is due whenever ...
The baby quilt is moving along fine now that I finally broke out my sewing machine and started assembling it. Until earlier this weekend, I had busied myself mainly with pinning and prepping, but now I'm getting a bit spooked because time is getting away from me here. I'll finish machine-assembly tonight and then I'll hand-applique the animals and have a think about the dimensions of the quilted sun that's to go into the centre. Wish me luck!
PS: as you can see, the most important thing's already in place - my label!

Baby Quilt 1: lay-out done
With the "help" of my girls, I've finalised the lay-out on the first baby quilt. As the discerning reader will notice, it is still lacking the "pampa" fabric, which is yellow and earmarked for the centre. It was off to be ironed, back today, and will now determine the actual size of my oeuvre, together with the yellow fleece.

Baby Quilt 1
This is the material for my first baby quilt of the year. I purchased it years ago and always had it earmarked for our friends' baby. Our friends are the couple through whom my husband and I met. They were our witnesses at our civic wedding ceremony and have tried to conceive this child for many years. Well, the day finally came and she is due in late April. So, time to crack on!
Her parents emigrated to Namibia about eight years ago, hence the African theme. The animals will be applied to the grass fabric that will frame the desert / tampas fabric in the middle. The centre piece will be a quilted sun.
I'm still undecided whether to keep the back bare, just the fleece that would otherwise be the wadding. I'm thinking the bare fleece will give more warmth. And the whole thing is off to be washed now.
