And here's the wee blanket I made - for a wee girl gorgeously named 'Eve Tiger Mae'. I particularly enjoyed making this one, the colours are so happy, sunny and summery. Some of my recent makes have been quite muted, for me at least, so it was extra fun to work with such vibrant oranges, pinks and reds.
I've also been enjoying seeing the sun shine through my newly made jars of strawberry jam. Isn't that a happy sight? They have been, and still are, sitting on the dining room window sill waiting for me to clean up the sticky bits and label them. I hadn't planned to make any this year as we still have some bramble jam from last autumn........but we made a visit to our local fruit farm last week, when Finn had a friend over, and they picked so many that I didn't have much choice! I'm sure it will get eaten and I may just give a few away as presents over the winter.
Have you been enjoying any summery sights or colours recently?

Cute blanket. A bit jealous of your jam!
A great blanket and the jam looks very good!
Oh my Julie, that strawberry jam does look good! Jum! I love that summery baby blanket you've made, beautiful combination of colours and patterns and so nice to make it for a commission :) glad to see the summer is suiting you, safxxx
Your blanket is amazing, she will love it forever. Please post your jam recipe as I would like to make strawberry jam.
I think strawberry jam (home made) is the best tasting stuff....ever! And we make it by the shelf full each year. Though blackberry comes in a very close second...especially on a cold winter's day.
Gorgeous stuff.

That's a beautiful little blankie Julie and it's sure to become a favourite drag everywhere one. My children all have knitted blankies from their grandmothers and great grandmothers and now one of my daughters has her own little ones and the blankies are in service again. I love it. I'm really looking forward to making some more jam. Usually I make blackberry jam from the hedgerow, but this summer the blackberries are really taking their sweet time, aren't they? Hopefully there will be some soon. :)
What a compliment! Your customer must have loved her gift.
Just run out of our homemade jam. I need to make a fresh batch soon. I bet your kitchen smells wonderful.
Beautiful blanket! the jam looks delicious x

Nice to discover another Scottish blogger just down the road!
I love your blanket - I'm hopeless at any sort of craft stuff, so even more admiring of others' productions.
Ooh! Lots of quilt love from me! And I'm now craving home made strawberry jam on some crusty bread and butter!!
