I am definitely not a last minute person, so I have been beavering away at my Brit Quilt Swap item. I don't want to have to rush this one as it is being made for someone else. I have spied out my partner's likes and dislikes and came up with the idea of 'Bubbles'. I think that my partner has a few circular patterns in her inspiration board and I have just learnt how to do portholes at the FQ retreat. This has inspired me to come up with this mini quilt. My partner likes bright, modern colours, so I hope that she will like 'Bubbles'.
So without further ado here is the photo shoot!

I then thought that I would try my hand at printing a quilt label.
So finally this is how the reverse side of the quilt looks.
I hope that my partner likes it. I have really enjoyed the making process as I have tried out methods that I have never done before. I am not naturally 'arty' so my comfort zone has been pushed in this swap.

My frantic holiday season starts this weekend. We The men are camping for a week at Newark Showground as they are all on team at New Wine. I am allergic to loathe camping so I will be B&Bing at home and travelling to and from Newark every day. I am also going to have a housemate, as one of my elder son's friends who is also allergic not fond of camping, is coming for B&B too. I may be a wimp but I have done the 'camping thing' and for me, it is endurance. This way I am a happy bunny all week! We are then home for 24hrs before we (minus elder son) head north to Cumbria for a week and a much needed holiday. I am staying a second week in order to transport sons around the countryside/train stations and more importantly see my parents,family and hopefully some bloggy friends too. The upshot is that I will not be in regular blogging contact but hopefully I will be able to read what you are doing!
I hope that the sun is still shining where you are.
