Birthday Card for my Great Niece

One of my great nieces was five last week. We share the same birthday, 

so it was made even more special for us, by having a lunchtime family 

Zoom chat to celebrate.

Everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday, some were even eating birthday cake

A Quilted Box

During ‘lockdown’ I have been keeping myself busy with my card-making

and sewing, finding different projects to make.

Last week, I made two quilted boxes and a little shopping bag for

three of my great nieces. I had them already wrapped and was about to package 

them for posting, when they surprised me with a kerb-side visit for my birthday, 

so I was pleased to be able to see them open them.

I made this one for five year old Sophie. I love this ladybird material which I
purchased online from Fabric Love They have a fabulous selection of fabrics available
and provide a great delivery service.

I really enjoy making these quilted boxes, which I learnt to make by

Claire at Beautiful Things, on her Beginners Sewing class.

I will share the other two makes soon.
