Now I'm not normally one for kids' birthday parties, but in this case the birthday girl is a darling, as is her mum. And it's a first birthday so while there may be some crying and little people crawling underfoot, it's not a trip to Wacky World or Whizzy Kids or any other 'fun' 'filled' 'amusement' 'park'. It's at mum's restaurant where the hospitality is always exemplary, warm and thoughtful.
Her presssie is finished, in the nick of time. It's got quite a few imperfections, the binding is a bit crooked, it's a bit lumpy bumpy, though the label isn't quite as wonky as it appears in the photo. But I think she'll like it. (mother and daughter!)
I love your quilt - really cheerful and girly without being too girly.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was hoping for, that it would be pretty but not too pink (much as I love pink myself...)

They will both love the quilt, I'm sure! It's very pretty!

I think it's a gorgeous blankie. Looks so soft and cuddly! Who wouldn't want to snuggle up in it. Of course they will love it!!

Yes she did like it, thankfully and was very touched that it was handmade. I was a bit peturbed it was revealed that the birthday girl's fabulous auntie had pillaged some posh kiddies' shop and one of her gifts was also a quilt - but I think it wsa ok, handmade went down well!
