Sunshine, swaps & stitches

Hello there!

I hope you had a great weekend...Here on the North Coast we have had the most unbelievable sunny weather, so lots of gardening done.. and a little sewing to show you

First up is the March block for our do. Good Stitches bee. March is Kat's turn to be queen bee &, rather than make a block, she has given us the opportunity to make any type of wee quilt top we would like. Kat runs a bee which donates blankets to sick & premature babies in her local hospital so this is what went off to her to-day...As a neonatal doctor, I know the trauma and anguish of parents who's little ones are sick and suffering, so it is a real privilege to be able to support Kat's great work

Next is the very first Care Circle quilt for our do. Good Stitches bee...

I'm so thrilled how those starflowers have come together

Doesn't it look wonderful? Thanks so much to Cindy, Annabella, Kat, Delores, Kylie, Kristin, Leanne, Bronica & Lucy.

When I was at the post office, the wee post man happened to mention that there was a parcel for me & look what was inside:

Its from my secret Mouthy Stitches swap partner Jennifer (aka Ellison Lane Quilts) Isn't the pouch gorgeous - here's the back view

I just love that wee birdie - it just makes me smile! :)
Last up are the blocks I've been working on for my doll quilt swap partner.... I'm hoping she will like them

I just have to work out what colour of sashing to use... any thoughts?
I hope you all have a great day....I'll be back on Thursday with the last stage of our Irish Road Trip...and the giveaway details! See you then!
Take care
Karen
