Weekend Wonders & Sibling Stitches

Hello there!
I hope you had a great weekend. Mine started off well with this wonderful package from Courtney (my pretty {little} pouch swap partner)

Courtney very kindly sent over some lovely treats from Trader Joes (which very quickly disappeared thanks D, A & C!!!) as well as this fab pouch

Isn't the wee birdie gorgeous! She also included this lovely notebook with more happy birdie applique

After all this excitement (& eating!) I seem to have spent most of Saturday cleaning the kitchen (believe me, it REALLY needed it!)... but I did manage to get a few bits & pieces finished, like these April do. Good Stitches blocks

I'm terrible for never throwing anything away, so I stitched all the tiny triangle scraps together, added some wadding & quilting....

.... and in the blink of an eye (not quite!) another wee scrappy pouch emerged from the sewing machine!

These are now on their way to Annabella who is our April mama. She wanted us to make bright, scrappy blocks for a Siblings Together quilt. This is a great project which was instigated by Lyn to support a charity working with brothers & sisters who have been separated in the British care system. Here are some of the lovely quilts being stitched, which will be handed over to the charity at the Fat Quarterly Retreat in June...

There are loads more which you can see here. If you would like to contribute, maybe even wadding for a quilt, or backing, do drop me a wee line - I would love to hear from you

Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you have a great week

Take care

Karen
