Previously On This Week: 26 June

I've had an idea for a regular feature on my blog that I'm going to try out - I'm going to keep it really simple and do a weekly post 'Previously On This Week'.  No words just a few links back to posts from the same week in previous years that are still relevant or might be fun to revisit.

Here's the first collection, just click on an image to take you to the original post:

I made this quilt for FP, the son of my friends HP and KP when they were coming to stay with us and to commemorate his first ever trip to New York.  FP's only five and I wanted to make the quilt a bit more boy friendly so I adapted the design and widened the taxi cab borders so that the cars are clearly visible.  So glad I did because the quilt was on FP's bed waiting for him to arrive and when he did I heard him shout 'taxis'.

My friend HP, FP's mum, tells me the quilt is a big hit and has pride of place on a chair in their living room back in England - you can't ask for better than that :) (thanks for the photos HP x)
