I really, really need to wash my windows.......

We found him last week, slowly pulling himself and his cocoon up the window.

Then a few days ago, I was informed that he was on the move again, so quickly grabbed the

camera.

The cocoon is about 15 cms long.

Anyone have any idea what he is? He has moved along now, Into the jungle that is supposed to be a garden, I'm hoping I will spot him again! But at least now I will be able to wash my windows!

Also I forgot to mention in my last post, SEWN is up and it looks absolutely fantastic!!!

And, I won two of the giveaways in the launch party!! Some beautiful fabric from Cathy at Cabbage Quilts! Thank you Cathy!

And a book, "Textiles" from Sarah of SEWN and The Last Piece for the participating bloggers draw!! Thank you Sarah!

And just to add some more randomness to this post, My girls made me a "cake"!

Thanks everyone for visiting, I had so much fun I can't wait to do another giveaway (give me a little time to recover first though!)

A Doll quilt for Laura....

I'm pretty happy with it, Laura on the other hand absolutely loves it!

I had no plan going into this, and I've decided that I really don't like working that way.

Being a beginner though, this quilt gave me a chance to try out a few things, some bubbly quilting on the Beatrix Potter patch, which made the characters really pop.

I also did some leaves around the outside border from a template, which worked out a lot better then I thought it would, I will use this template again on the green and brown quilt.

I really liked the effect that the square spiral gave in this block.

And I love the backing fabric! (even though I oriented it the wrong way)

The Last day of Autumn.....

And it was too cloudy most of the day to take any photos outside.

I do have a nice photo of three of the girls in their new Pyjamas, Imogene's were last to be finished (only yesterday!) and she hasn't worn them yet.

Charlotte and Jocie's are a different pattern for the pants, but both have a little flower that I machine stitched to the (bought) shirt, Laura and Imogene's pants are the same pattern just different sizes, Laura's shirt has a half moon that I stitched on (very badly!), and Imogene has a bright pink shirt with a balloon stitched on, it even has a string from the knot down to the hem.
