I think its the year of the baby. Every person I know is having a baby or just had one. And when new life comes into the world, that means its time to make something special. For a little girl who was born last month, I made this Patchwork Sleep Sack from Anna Maria’s book Handmade...
This is so amazing! Definitely putting it on my to do list whenever the next baby may come
The sleep bag is just gorgeous; I love the colours, and the creamy yellow really sets the pinks up beautifully. I’m intrigued by your use of the term ‘voile’. I assume you do mean a fabric different from quilting cotton – even the better quality sort. Where do you find it, and is it much harder to cut/sew than quilting cotton?
Thank you; I’m really enjoying your blogging

Voile is different from quilting cotton. It can certainly be used in quilts, which is something I do quite often. Its also perfect for garment sewing. Its the softest fabric ever. It’s cotton (at least AMH voile is) and it has a very tight, fine weave making it very strong and sturdy. I could give your my views on it, but its better coming from the master herself. Here’s post Anna Maria wrote about her voile fabric: http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com/2010/03/all-voile.html
So cute, Meredith! Voile and flannel sound so cozy and perfect for a sweet little one.
