What a clever man.

I wanted to add a picture of a Doublet jacket to my blog about Vintage Jackets. I found this one titled Prince of Denmark. The owner, Robert Lamarche kindly gave me permission to use it. He is an artist and also made the Doublet. He has a number of photographs on Flickr but I wanted to tell people about his website. Click on the link below and you will see a collection of fabulous costumes.

Enjoy the collection.

A collection of Baby Quilts

Whilst I was looking for examples of good baby quilt patterns I came across a squidoo lens by Buckhawk or Susan, titled -

There are some lovely examples of Baby Quilts as well as greetings cards based on the quilts. I thought you might be interested in them.
Until the next time.

Another Life Changing Moment

 I saw this quote when I was looking for interesting snippets for my Baby Quilt Patterns blog.

 
"I wandered past a quilt exhibition, went in, and realised I really want to learn how to do patchwork and quilting.

It was written by Jodie van de Wetering, a reporter for ABC WideBay, Australia.

I hope you find the article as interesting as I did.

Quilt Hanging Sleeve

I am always looking for tips and suggestions to put on my Baby Quilt Patterns blog and I came across this video. It shows you how to make a sleeve to hang your quilt.

There is a very good tip in it about preventing the pole from rucking your quilt. I haven't hung a quilt yet so I could not visualise what the problem might be. I used paper instead of fabric and followed the instructions. It works!

 Check out the quilt hanging sleeve video as it does a much better job of explaining than I can.

See you later, Davina

Are you looking for a good home for your quilt?

I thought creators of Baby Quilt Patterns might like to see what other quilters do with their quilts. The photos and words belong to 

my sister and I have put them together in this short video.

She was on her way to deliver some Personalised Chocolate to a customer when she spotted a sign. I think the following quote says it all.

For those of you who know me, you will remember my little mantra in life is ‘I wonder what’s down here’.

I am sure you will agree the causes would make very good homes.

Speak soon, Davina
