This is a two-layered cotton patchwork without padding in between.


It measures 55 inches by 70 inches.


The beige borders and backing is done with the cloth contributed by Agnes and Gerley.


The coloured fabric is from all the left-overs that we have.


It was such fun creating this piece!

Oreo Bartholomeow Balestorm said...

This looks pretty. I wonder if I should put in a bid so that Hazel will have her own blankie-ngiao and stop chasing me off mine... Hmm....

chankahyein said...

Hi Oreo! You have a new sister, Hazel?

Oreo Bartholomeow Balestorm said...

Hi Dr Chan, yes I do. Her name is Hazelnut Karameow Balestorm. She's a Balestorm-ngiao. Just like me. You can see her on my FB page. She's a nutter. But I think I love her-ngiao.

chankahyein said...

Oh gosh!! She is so cute! I love the photos of Hazel lying in your arms, and another one of you in a bow tie!
I am sure everyone would like to see these cute photos!! https://www.facebook.com/OreoBartholomeowBalestorm

Oreo Bartholomeow Balestorm said...

Thank you Dr Chan. The bow tie was handsewn by mama but I don't wear it often as I do not like things around my neck-ngiao.

Wine Dogs TB EE TT and CC said...

Thank you Oreo and Hazel for not outbidding us doggies...cos we r not that observant to get in last min bids, hehe! We finally get a colorful blankie that has ALL the colors so we don't have keep waiting for a red blankie! Yippee!

chankahyein said...

Oh? We have red blankies coming up too...ha ha.

Dear Oreo ♡

I love all your photos and video in your FB. Your antics made me smile. Hazel is cute. She's so active and sometimes too active for you... he he :)

Oreo Bartholomeow Balestorm said...

Hi Wine Dogs, I showed Hazel a picture of the blankie and she didn't want it-ngiao. She wants a purple or red blankie though so if Dr Chan puts up a red blankie, it seems we will have to bid against each other... :)

Oreo Bartholomeow Balestorm said...

Dear Auntie Jasmine, thanks for liking most of my pictures on FB. She is too active for me, in fact, Hazel's the reason why I'm not asleep yet at this hour-ngiao. She's on her zoomies mode and is zooming all over the room, and launching herself at me every now and then-ngiao! I've gotta stay awake to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. The other night she jumped into our water bowl and got herself all wet. Mama had to cuddle her all night to keep her warm.

chankahyein said...

Hi Oreo, Would you believe it - we have quite a few red ones AND one that is purple AND red - a fruity one with strawberries and apples. Wait for it!

Oreo Bartholomeow Balestorm said...

Hi Dr Chan,

A purple and red one with strawberries and apples? I think Hazel would love that-ngiao! She sometimes smell of strawberries, especially after she cuddles with mama after mama's bath-ngiao. We will most definitely wait for that! Thanks for the prior notice, Dr Chan.
