1/ Baby MiH hand knitted jumper (hope to finish before he outgrows it), more information about the pattern here; 2/ I made minimal progress with my Ojo de Dios and only have the wooden structure (a quick trip to B+Q did the trick); 3/ Fabrics for my next quilting adventure; 4/ Tapenade is growing, and I cannot wait to get to the third part of the pattern - the current section is really testing me. 

Joining other WIPs at Ginny and Tamis today. 

La TGIFF Positive attitude {quilting}

It is finally my time to host! How exciting! Well done for making all the way to my blog! I am Nat. I love making things for our house and people (mostly Baby MiH, who is 6 week old today!). My blog runs as a diary of my different projects and my inspirations.

Enough about me, let's discuss this Friday TGIFF. There was a plan (note to self: never discuss 'publicly' the plan before the plan is finalised), and what I am about to show you was not part of the plan. It is the back up plan I did not think I had on Wednesday.

So here we are, the back up plan and what is actually finished: another wash cloth. The design is a pattern I am working on (as clearly it has major flaws). I added some embroidery because I like it just in case someone was going to steal Baby MiH's wash cloth.

The pattern is not supposed to look like this, but this is what I ended it up with. The right side is clearly fatter than the left one (not sure if this is a reflection of my own current body shape?), and one side is not the right way round.. 

However I am on the right track with this design. I was not sure how to make what I had in my head, but I now know how, and how to rectify some of my mistakes. 

So when I had a quilt top ready, but decided I did not like it, what was I supposed to do with it? Well there is only one person in our family who cannot criticise what I make (as he cannot talk), and that is how Baby MiH ended up with a new wash cloth! Trust me, he loves it!

So that was my TGIFF story, what is yours? What have you finished for this Friday?
