What a wonderful world - an educational quilt for twin boys

 I can't believe I haven't shared here my last quilt from 2020.

It was amazing quilt for twin boys for playing on the floor.

The idea came when I receive an order to make a present for their birthday, but there is no time to sew two separate quilts.

 

 

There is a sun to play with the sunbeams.

 moon and stars

 

and kite in the sky with tale with different texture ribbons

 

The rainbow comes after rain 

After winter

comes spring

 

There are autumn leaves, strawberry fields,  mountains and meadows, a lake with a fish and cats walking around.

The back is filled with stars.

What a wonderful world!

 

The quiet book - page number one

As I mentioned in my previous post I was asked to make a quiet textile book for a grandchild of a friend of mine.
I promised to sew one, but couldn't realized what a journey began.
First three or four hours I started to draw different ideas on a piece of paper.
On the next day I visited some crafty shops to buy beads, wooden flowers, butterflies, ladybirds, ribbons, colorful felts etc.
First of all is the sun. In my mind the sun is associated  with sea.

What are the steps to have this result?
Prepare a rectangle piece of fabric - about 8 x 9 inches. Applique yellow and blue pieces - if you have prints with fishes or sand it would be perfect.
I have striped blue fabric.
First - cut different strings and ribbons yellow color.
Pin them in a circle and stitch firmly.

Then cut a yellow felt circle for the sun.
If you have zig zag scissors use them.

 

Carefully stitch round the perimeter.

I have a small plastic fish and put it on a wire.
Stitch firmly both ends.

It is almost done.
Add tiny batting and quilt round the sun.
Wait for the next page.
Come here in a couple of days to see more interesting ideas.
