NERO’S AWARD AND BABY QUILT
January 8, 2012 by Teje
Vof Vof! Welcome all my friends!
Hey – I am making a baby quilt! Any one out there who likes bubbles?!
There was some ready cut squares in the sewing room with these different blues and yesterday I sew them together and there it was, a top for a baby quilt! But I love bubbles! When I was little boy, I had all my nose in my drinking water and then I blew! Wow that was fun! So I took my baby and made lots of bubbles …
Nelli was looking over and told to me where was still bubbles missing …
What you think Nelli? Is there enough bubbles? I sew all of them over the top with a simple straight stitch.
For the backing I shall use soft, sea blue solid …
I have finished the Beach mini quilt. Still I need to cut the wood stick and then I can show you how easy it is to hang. Till then just quickly one photo over the stone wall . I couldn’t miss this year’s first “{sew} Modern Monday” so meet you at ‘Canoe Ridge Creations’! And tuesday I’m linking with ‘Fabric Tuesday’ at Quilt Story!
And now some really exiting news! Few days ago I got great post from Thunder and Storm from “2 brown dawgs”! They gave to me ‘Collies Choice Award’!!! Wow - was I a little bit surprised! I am very honored and happy for that!
This award was started by ‘The Collies of The Meadow’! They have the most beautiful collies, you will love them! The rules are simple, we have no rules other than the blog we/you give this award to be to us/you personally amongst the best being written.
Thank you so much “2 brown dawgs”!!! I am so proud and happy for this special award! Please pay a visit to say hello to Linda and her beautiful dogs!
I would like to pass this award to my dear, sweet friend Sage , who is really beautiful and clever girl! She writes about her doggie adventures in her own blog “The (mis)adventures of Sage”! Sage is very special girl and she is also so kind! Last week she went to she her friend to the hospital and now she is thinking to visit there more often to give joy for the people!
Now I guess I need to send this perfore it disappears … the truth is that I want to go to continue that baby quilt … I hope you don’t mind! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments! I am so happy to have so many dear friends here and like to welcome all the new friends! Lots of warm hugs and see you soon!
PS. Leona at ‘Leonas’ Quilting Adventures’ has wonderful presents to us! She has a give away to celebrate her over 900 followers! I’m quite sure you wouldn’t like to miss that!
NERO & TEJE
Ps. You see we are really good friends with Nelli!

"I would love to read your thoughts! If you have a moment, please leave a message!"
Your quilt is a beauty! It looks as though that boy Nero would like a new quilt, the way he gazes at it! LOL I am so amazed at how your Nero and my Luc are so similar!
Luc is headed to the groomer this week. He will have me post his beautiful picture after that!
Hi!! Nice work!! Fun with the bubbles!! And the beach quilt, so cut!! I`m working om a baby quilt too…… But I most often knit….. I can sit still……. Have a nice week!! AnneK:-)

Congratulations on your award Nero! You deserve it for excellent blogging and helping out Teje with all the quilting, AND now I see also playing with the cats. So much work you have to do, you busy one!
Hi!
Congratulations on your Collie Choice Award! Thank you for the link back. Your beautiful blog deserves this and so many more awards for it is excellent!
What a beautiful Quilt!!! You are very talented.
God BLess You!
The Collies and Chuck
Oh, Teje, you are so sweet to think of little Miss Saggie. She has grown into a really nice dog and I certainly hope we can do some therapy training in the near future!
Congratulations on your award!! Your quilts are beautiful and I love the bubbles you added to the baby quilt!
The blues make a lovely quilt, but the bubbles make it really special. Do you have a cutter, or did you have to cut them by hand? I’m sure the parents will love it!
Thank you Benta! I have the GO!Baby cutter with circles, birds and diamonds. I wanted to make something like this for a long time. Now of course I have more ideas for circles … x Teje
Wow, I love the bubbles, Teje, they make the quilt feel so fresh! Great job!
The bubbles look perfect on your beautiful quilt and the beach wall hanging is adorable!
Bubbles are so fun! Do you love the Go Baby still? I haven’t tried to use mine yet, and I kinda wish I would have gotten different dies, but it’s still fun to have! Have a great week!
Thank you Kelly! I’m happy you asked about the Go Baby! I haven’t used it much but I like it. I’m thinking exactly the same that I should have chosen other dies, but I thought that it’s only me who never can decide and make my mind! When I chose them I was trying to take something which is more difficult to cut by hand. I have these circles, birds and diamonds. I made one pillow with diamonds and I think I just have to start to use it more because there are so many possibilities to use diamonds. Have a great week! x Teje
Hello!! We just came over from Sage’s blog! Your quilts are beautiful. My best friend lives on Crete – in Satia – and we visited Chania together when I was there in 2008. It is a lovely place! My friend is visiting here (Southern California) now. I’m going to send her a link to your blog!! It’s very nice to meet you!

Just loving your baby bubbles quilt… cute name too! And wow, your beach scene is getting lovlier every time we see it!! Hope you enjoyed lots of sewing time today!
Congratulations again on your award. I am so glad I was able to share your wonderful blog! Thank you for the kind words and for linking back to us!
I just love that bubble quilt. I think it will be perfect! That last picture of Nelli and Nero is fabulous. They sure look like pals!
That babyquilt looks so pretty, Teje! I am a great fan of blues, and all those shades together…I wouldn’t mind one for my sofa (a bit larger size perhaps
?), would be great to snuggle under it… Happy sewing!
Yours,
Mia
