My space is a little boring at the moment. I’m still working on the ripple dress, planning another crochet top, and doing lots of softie cutting out in preparation for future markets. But my Mum has been very busy lately. 
And Maya is a lucky girl ‘cos she received this fabulous quilt for her first birthday last week. 
Mum originally patched the quilt back in 1976 when she was pregnant with me. 
She has recently repaired the quilt, rebacked it, and machine quilted it. 
The backing fabric is from the curtains my Mum had in her room when she was a baby. 
I love that this quilt has so much family history in it. Maybe one day I could add to it a little for Maya’s daughter…
