Our Tuesday girls are making Natalie Bird's "Merry & Bright" Quilt and this week we put together the applique pieces on some more blocks and I have spent some time stitching the rest of Block 1 - The snowman block.
All 4 of the quilts are going to look very different as we have all chosen different fabrics - I have gone for bright cheery Pinks, Yellows, Greens, Blues and Reds - I am trying to use up scraps from my scrap bin.
Each time I choose a new scrap it reminds me of the project that it originally belonged to. It's nice to reflect on finished projects.
I think the little soldiers are my favourties so far - This weekend I will be working on the angel block.
I received some more happy mail this week. It was my swap gift from my online friendship group in our winter swap. My parcel was from the lovely Tarnyia
Look at the lovely goodies she sent me.
I totally love the table runner that she made for me. It is gorgeous. Thanks so much Tarnyia - I hope you're feeling better.
Winter has really bitten us here in Tasmania - Thankfully the shortest day has passed and now we can look forward to a little more daylight each day - We are on the other side - YAY !
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs - Fee X

Gorgeous blocks, Fee. I love the angels.
Love those blocks Fee and great use of scraps (even though your bin will still be full as they breed)... and your very welcome xxx
See, I am the exact opposite...if I was at home, I would want winter and cold weather!
lovely blocks Fee, I love them all but the snowmen really caught my eye. Hope you stay warm today. I saw it is a top of 9 degrees in Hobart today!! In comparison our 19 should feel quite balmy!! :)
Your blocks are so pretty, and so YOU, hon! I really like the angels block...now tell me, was this in a magazine or is it a paper pattern??
