COULDN'T WAIT



After almost completing 3 little Civil War quilt tops and waiting to find suitable fabrics for the borders and backings, I started to get impatient and decided to start another one. So, after drawing up the blocks on graph paper, tracing the shapes onto template plastic , then drawing these onto the fabrics and cutting them out with my pinking shears, I have completed hand piecing the first 4 1/2"  block.






                                          Tonight I did this cute little stitchery of Jenny's.



 
 
 
My mum enjoys doing stitcheries and is particularly fond of Gail's designs. She put this sweet birdie in a beautiful frame.
 
 
 
 
 
I am off to one of my patchwork groups tomorrow and hope to stitch another block while I am there. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead with plenty of stitching getting done.
 
Angel Blessings.
