down unda

our very good and lovely friends Darin and Juice just had the most gorgeous baby girl ever all the way over in Sydney, Australia.  see image below:

ah!

so i felt it was my civic duty as aunt-by-association to make her a lovely little quilt with a hand-sewn binding.  it was really fun to make and i am already starting on another for another close person who is with child. lets hope i get it done before mine pops out.  i'm so busy making quilts for other people's babies i haven't even started making one for mine!

i really want to make the most special and beautiful quilt ever for our baby, and i want it to be all SUPER BRIGHT pink Liberty of London fabrics.  being that liberty is $40 a yard tho, i need to wait til i have some post x-mas cash flow going.

 anyway. i forgot to take pictures so they were gracious enough, even in their newborn days/daze to take pictures so i can share with all of you.

the pattern comes from old faithful: the purl bee.  i found the pattern for their zig zag quilt and immediately wanted to make it- down to the main fabric choice - Alexander Henry's Zoo.  I dont know if they make it anymore but they have it in a different size.  anyway. that's all folks!
