Young artist and a mini quilt

This proud little girl has finished the first project she has ever sewn on the sewing machine. With a little help of course, and the little brother helped to stuff it (wanted to be involved very badly and now wants the pig for himself...). As you see on Big E's pattern it was supposed to become a waving teddy bear, but at some point we just came to the conclusion that it wanted to become a waving little piggy. I found a blank card among the lot I got from the printers on Monday so Big E drew this little piece of art for her grandparents. You can see little piggy sitting on the back of the bike.
Lesley, who made me this lovely quilt, received her swap quilt today (in time!) so now I can show you the whole thing. Close-ups here and here. So glad it arrived safely!

Miss E is really very talented, you should set her to work with you...you'd get all sorts done in no time! Lovely, lovely picture of a bike too, clever girl! (and so pretty - a killer combination!)

The little pig is so cute... especially the picture of it riding on the back of the bike! Your daughter is very artistic and creative :o) that's fantastic. What a pretty quilt you made, too - your swap partner must be smitten with it. Take care & have a great weekend!!
