While on holidays, most nights I've done some handstitching on my Tail Feathers blocks. These are the mini-blocks which go together to make up block 2.
Applique Bird
Bathing Beauty
Nesting Pods
... and the completed block.
Most of the bits for block 3 and 4 are are also finished .... just need to find the time (and energy!) to sew them together.
Today I've been trying to get the house clean and tidy before going back to school on Tuesday. As usual the holidays have flown by ... just as I start to relax, it's time to start preparing for the next term.
I had a fun day out in Launceston and Exeter on Friday with my Friends in Stitching and fellow Tassie bloggers Vicki, Sarah, Roseanne, Cathy and Leanne. We visited some quilt shops, ate yummy food, shared some show and tell and talked a lot. FUN.
Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Christine...
