A couple of weeks ago I blogged about a challenge from
The Make Cafe in Christchurch. You purchased a 1/2 metre of linen and they added a couple of off cuts and
sent them in a package. You were then meant to make an item "Zakka Style". (there are lots of craft books with the Zakka name and it looks like smaller items using bits and pieces you have around. A lot of the use the base of linen)
Now this coincided nicely with two baby showers booked on my calendar. Two of my quilting buddies and good friends, are having babies and I wanted to give something made by me. Both are set up for children as this is not their first so my idea was to make something for the Mum. I will pop a couple of little gifts inside.
In order to fit the Dresden Plate design I made these ended up being very large!!!

I always link with
Crazy Mum Quilts for finish it up friday.
Also posting this with Lil Pip Designs on her Spring has sprung week. I feel new babies certainly give you that spring feeling. I feel the need for some photos of little lambs!!!
What a lovely gift, I know exactly who these are for and I just know they will love them. Talented girl you are. x
