A Bluebird of Hope...

...Block 2 is finished and I'm very happy with the fabrics I chose.  I like them much better than my Block 1 fabrics so I'm going to make Block One again in mostly Rural Jardin.  


Kilmore Quilter's is having a Round Robin Mystery Quilt this year, the only difference from usual being we make all our rounds ourselves.  The first month we had to pick a theme and a colour scheme and make an eight inch block reflecting our choices.  This is what I chose.  

I'm going with a bird theme - so all my rounds will either have bird buttons or little bird stitcheries.  And because I am so in love with hexie flowers I decided to start with one in the middle. I'm collecting red, pink, aqua and white fabrics at the moment so these are the colours I am using.


I'm off to NOTYQ tonight.  I'm so glad I joined this group - I always have so much fun.  Hopefully I won't talk too much and so will have some more sewing to share tomorrow.

Finally I caught up with my lovely friend Liz - Elliek from the Village Quilters - yesterday for breakfast and she gave me this adorable little owl.  Isn't he sweet?

A fabulous pattern for this bug jar quilt at Bug Jar Quilt.  Super cute.
