Octavio’s ready for Ollie who lives opposite
magikquilter June 30th, 2008
Made Octavia over the weekend…all sewn by hand and finished off by top stitching with turquoise perle thread. The wadding was 1″ thick [think that is 2.5cm] anyway it was really thick and created a lovely padded effect. I shall be doing quite a few of these in various fabrics as the local artisan market is opening and I have been offered a stall. It will work really well for me as it is just down the road in an historic home attached to the local Catholic Church. There are heaps of helpers clammering to assist me and now its just a matter of sandwiching a lot of my finished quilt tops into tied quilts and run up some some smaller items as well. Octavio is for Ollie the little boy who lives opposite who is a little chilly in his unit at present…what do you think of my alliteration?
Update……..Ollie loves Octavia!!! He jumped naked onto him after his bath this evening and generally had a great time counting his legs and checking his little hat out!
Ahhhh, he’s so cute. Ollie will love this!
Well he wriggled all over it and was pointing to all Octavio”s legs so think that means he’s happy while he’s learning!
delightfully sweet!
thanks Judy…the little boy is too!
zMG! This is the cutest thing EVER! It’s all I can do to stop myself from saying “I want one!”
