Easter Break


Guess who got his easter gift early?   Toby got a new squeaky bird for Easter.  I think I have shown you before what he does with squeaky toys - They end up dismembered, gutted and the squeaker removed.



 But he gets hours of fun out of them so we don't mind.


Today I made myself a mini design wall to hang on the back of the door.  I thought that if I could see my recent completed blocks of Angel Story that it would help to keep me motivated.


And here it is Block No 1 completed


I really enjoyed stitching it and have Block 2 all traced up and ready to stitch.  So far so good.  I really do hope that I keep the motivation going with this quilt.


A new pattern arrived in the mail this afternoon.  It is Ric Rac's Chubby Birds - How could I resist them?  I wasted no time getting the felt tub out and played around with some colour combinations.



I can see quite a few of these being made in the coming months.  Aren't they cute?

I have a 10 day Easter break and am looking forward to catching up on things around the house as well as spending some time with family and friends.

Happy Easter to you and your family and if you are travelling please drive safely.

Hugs - Fee X

The first block is gorgeous! That one alone should help motivate you to finish them all. The chubby bird is cute...love that color combination.

Toby looks soo happy with his new toy although I am sure the squeaky has been torn out from it already. LOL

Have a blessed Easter.

Toby is so funny with his toys. Our (much bigger) dog has always been terrified of squeaky toys. She cowers away if she hears one. Such cute birds, and a clever mini design wall.
Have a wonderful break and happy Easter.
Hugs xx

Sweet Toby... I used to by big bags of toys from the OP shops for that purpose - so much innards around the place though! very gruesome.... I love your birds.... and the design wall is brilliant to show off your blocks...
