Having seen Weird Bunny's pictures of her version of Janet Bolton's My Grandmother's Patchwork Quilt I thought I would post the pictures I did of the children a year or so ago. The two of the girls are directly from Janet Bolton's In a Patchwork Garden, but the little boy is my own design. They all really suit the characters of my little ones and I have used some old clothing for some of the fabrics. I love Janet Bolton's style and wish I had her talent for design. I met her a few years ago at the Country Living Spring Fair and she was really nice too!
The colours have not come out very well in the photos but photography has never been my top skill!
I've had a lovely sewing day at The Fat Quarters with my nine year old as her school was closed today for polling and I'm out for a sewing night with my friends tonight - what a great day!

These are lovely. I have the Noah's Ark book and have put that project on my list to do. Thanks for the email. I will be back to you this weekend. This week at work has been really busy.
These are lovely. so sweet that they are of your children too. Did you see the flickr group, we would love you to join, I see you are new to blogging (or to blogger anyway) but flickr is really cool, lots of people use it alongside their blog, and it is free to set up and easy to use, so come on, join up!
Your applique blocks look great and so glad you are part of the 365 challenge, you journalling looks good. I am loving it, haven't posted a photo of mine as yet but will do so soon.
What a fantastic idea of Leannes, she is a real inspiration.

I came over here from Julias - and echo her sentiments, they are fantastic - and to make it even better you have obviously framed them, not stuffed them into a drawer to be dealt with at some future date as I tend to.
I love the pics of your allotment too.
