what a luxury Sunday is. A lovely start to the day with a big walk and socialise for Billy at the dog park, then washing two rather smelly dogs and some idle time at the computer.... heavenly. All I need is to do some crafting and it will be perfect.
I haven't been slacking off during the week though..... I completed the latest Caswell block and I have traced the last two! Wow I can't believe it! One of them I tweaked a little as it didn't seem logical to my eye the way it was. Now to decide which to start first... it will be fun selecting the fabrics for these last two knowing I am on the home stretch. Then I will just have to decide what type of borders to put on it.....
Here is the finished one at least.
this is a block previously completed but as I am loving these fussy cut bees I just had to add another one on at least one other block. This one had a space that needed filling that fits a bee perfectly!
Made my first tulip block... very happy indeed.
nowto finish as there hasn't been a furry pic for awhile... here is an up to date pic of the new squeaky clean Coffee and Billy. Billy is 10 months old now and is as strong as an ox with a will to match, but also a sweetheart. Would be nice if he was the size of a jack russell?
hope you are all having a great weekend
Here's to the week ahead!
cheers
Marina

Totally gorgeous as always Marina, love your Caswell birds and your tulip block looks fantastic - good choice to change from the original. Enjoy your week of farewells :)
ReplyDeleteLovely work on all the blocks. They are looking great and the fabrics are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs look wonderful. It is amazing to think Billy is only 10 months old when you see his size. Looks like they both have lovely natures.
Lovely to start my Sunday morning with your blog and a cup of coffee. It looks blustery outside although mild which is a nice change after a frosty week - in April!!
ReplyDeleteYour Caswell block is gorgeous - I love the birds, such beautiful shapes and the bee is so cute!
I shall be patching and piecing some backing fabric for a quilt later on - looking forward to a nice, stitchy Sunday afternoon - enjoy yours. xx
