a long overdue heartfelt thankyou post.

never having won anything in my life i was impossibly delighted when my name was pulled from josie’s hat in her anniversary draw at mr monkeysuit. to have someone so talented make a baby quilt just for me (well, i suppose technically it was for baby G ) was a dream come true.

but that delight was nothing compared to how i felt when the quilt arrived, just a few days before G (note impeccable timing in contrast to my own belated effort). i posted briefly then but wanted to share more of the details of this wonderful quilt: the fabric choices, the pieced sashing, the softness of the backing, the wonderful spiralling square quilting.

i was really blown away by the quilt and honoured to have won it. we use it every day and G loves it too. more pics.

catherine buca’s photography has a certain something. an atmosphere and aesthetic that draws me in totally, i could stare at them for hours. and now i do

as soon as i found out that catherine sells prints through her etsy shop i knew resistance was futile. maybe it’s her ttv work that inspired me to put the prints in thick perspex block frames, effectively placing another lens between the viewer and the image. i’m sooo happy with both the prints and the presentation.
