quilt progress

I have re-found this quilt that I started months ago . Admittedly I hadn't actually lost it, I knew  perfectly well where it was but I just needed a break from hand stitching all those tiny little squares and that break went on longer than I intended! Now my enthusiasm is back and I'm enjoying it again. Ive begun working on the apple orchard block which is my favourite one

 While I was sewing and the baby was sleeping Mitch was making up a fun game. He would pull a pin from the pincushion and try to guess the colour (I don't think he thought of it as guessing, he was really quite sure he had them all right) and then place them under the "window" (my quilting ruler). He thought my sewing supplies were such a fun new toy, that goes to show its been a while since I've had them out!
(don't worry, I had an eye on those scissors by his foot and he knows their not for playing with)

I'm not sure if I ever did share the little ironing board cover that I made a while a go. Its quilted with a few layers of batting to make it soft just like a real ironing board.
Why yes that is a three year old sitting in a doll high chair. When we first got the doll high chair I found myself many times reminding little people not to sit in in until it occurred to me that its probably as solid as most children's chairs! The wonderfulness of  quality wooden toys just goes on and on. Who knows how many children played with it roughly before I got it second hand yet its still as solid as ever
