Did I tell you about the time...?

Did I tell you about the time I decided I had to make a hottie cover immediately? And it had to have a unicorn on it. I used a 'pattern' from Spotlight which in retrospect was probably better described as 'very broad guidelines'. Not being one for reading patterns before starting, this only dawned on me part way through.

So once again I have made the skinny jeans version of something. A long time ago I did the same with a Kindle cover. Never mind, I wrestled the hottie in and I don't imagine I will be taking it out all that often.

I sewed the back flap on in the wrong order so it is a little unconventional :-) The good news is that it doesn't seem to have caused any functionality issues.


I was so taken by the colour combination I decided to use up the scraps by making a baby quilt (or perhaps a mini lap quilt). Here are a couple of shots of the quilt top enjoying some rare winter sun.



It's 40x48" so it shouldn't take those quilting fairies too long to quilt up when they turn up at my place. Cross-hatching I think - I must remember to leave the fairies a note and perhaps some scrummy afghans.

  2. Send the quilting fairies to my place when they are finished! I promise to feed them well! BTW the hot water cover is a beauty!

  4. I need one of these covers! I always wrap my 'hottie' in a small towel, which does the job - but is not nearly as pretty as yours!!!

  9. The skinny jean version seems functional enough so all is well there. As nice as the hottie is, I truly adore this quilt top. You can send it to me for quilting but I have a feeling it wouldn't make the return trip somehow. :)
