Little Owl of Wanaka

 Another catch-up...this cute quilt was created in July as a baby gift for my cousin's newest grandson, Harrison, born in August, who lives with his parents in Wanaka.

It was very easy to put together - I only had one 'oops' (placed a row upside down) that took a bit of unpicking to fix up, but totally worth it!

I did straight-line quilting with my sit-down Elna 720 domestic machine.

The backing is a woodlands-themed flannel from my stash and the binding is a teal stripe.

It was made from a kitset, purchased in 2021 from Rainbow Stash, and it uses the Little Owl quilt pattern by Annie Brady (www.bound.shop) 

It measures 38"x44" and the bush-clad private road that leads to our new home location was the ideal spot for the photos on a gorgeous early Spring morning!

 I am still catching up on sharing the projects that I've finished in this second half of the year!

This was a cot quilt created in September as a belated gift for our newest great-niece in Hawkes' Bay, Florence, who was born in April. Her grandparents were down visiting recently, so they took it back up to her.

It was made from a small pack of Mickey and Minnie Mouse themed fat quarters that has been in my stash for a couple of years, and I added a couple of other fat quarters from my stash as well.

I did a free-motion loopy stipple, with some stars thrown in along the way, for the quilting, using my Bernina Q20 longarm.

The quilt finished at 42.5" x 44.5" and was adapted from the 'Easy Bricks' pattern by Amy Smart (diaryofaquilter.com)

I used a mint pin-stripe for the binding, and leftover yardage for the backing.

Getting photos had again been tricky as the weather had been so changeable and often wasn't pleasant in the hours of daylight in which I was at home.
