Bluebirds and Shamrocks

Bluebird Cabin stitched...

I love the two toned door and the house in this one... and of course the Bluebirds.


I wasn't going to use the buttons but the owl button for this block is so cute that I am going to have to use him. (not pictured)

I finished stitching 'Shamrock Bunny' also.
Pattern by Homespun Elegance
Stitched on 30ct Weeks linen which I tea dyed a bit.


I may stitch these buttons at the bottom but haven't decided yet. I'll be making it into a little pillow with my Heather Ross shamrock fabric on the back.

Most of my 'smalls' are Halloween or Christmas themed so I decided I needed another Spring one. This will make only my second Spring themed one.  I do love it. The bunny's tail is a bunch of colonial knots so it sticks up a bit.

A little peek of what I've been working on lately...



I'm loving the colors in it so much! I can't give the details as of yet. It's going to be a gift and I don't want to give too much away.

And A Forest Grew

In my stitching world...
It's growing and I am loving it

'And A Forest Grew' by Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor
I love the details... all the different trees and animals. Lots of birds...



(The linen is white, not light blue. I took the photos at dusk)

One of my 'stitching' New Year's Resolutions (goals) is to work on and try to finish stitching my 'And A Forest Grew'. If I don't finish, that is ok. I will enjoy every stitch!

My husband surprised me with a cool Squirrel Buster bird feeder this week.
I just put it up today so we'll see how Jeffery the Ninja squirrel likes that!
This little guy likes to watch me through my kitchen window to make sure I am going to feed him daily.

In my world lately..
My sweet children took me to the Virginia Historic Society to see a quilt show.



It was called "The Great Western Virginia Cover-Up : Historic Quilts & Bedcovers".
It was an exhibition from the Blue Ridge Institute & Museum of Ferrum Colllege.
I think my children even enjoyed it a little bit.
My youngest was going around trying to figure out which quilt was oldest.

Happy Stitching
