Another Birdie Stitches done... I've nearly caught up .....
Some time ago when DS and DIL were visiting they gave me a lift to quilting group.... just as we arrived I saw my friend and said "Oh goody.... my friend is here...." and skipped off to meet her....
DIL laughed and said "It's just like dropping off the children at PlayGroup"........
DIL laughed and said "It's just like dropping off the children at PlayGroup"........
...... mmmmm..... idea.....
Message sent to my ultra talented arty SIL, Mandy (no blog) for some drawings......
Stitch, stitch.... think, think..... play, play .....
There's a little bit of me in all the characters....
close up pictures can be seen HERE..
I made up it up as I went... and I would never do this way again... I think I found all the hard to do ways of doing things.... but it is durable, and holds lots of goodies for my "PlayGroup" days......
Thanks to DIL for the inspiration and SIL for lovely drawings
don't I have wonderful in-laws?

I am glad YOU think it is wonderful to have in-laws. And that you have a playgroup. LOL
I LOVE IT - both the inspiration and the bag! Too darling, Fiona! Those little earrings just slay me!
Wish you were willing to make them to sale. With a little personalizing of course.
I received my fabric order this week and am ready to do my pinwheel runner.

Marvelous bag! I love what you did with the drawings/stitchings. I am very surprised what you made. I also like the bird stitching and followed your link and I am stitching those blocks too. Hope you have a great day. Hugs, Kim
Was loving the birdie stitchery...and the excellent choice of fabrics (using the same range in one of my quilts so just a little bit biased - ha ha ha)...when I scrolled down to your bag...OMG! I. LOVE. IT. It is hilarious and just so perfectly apt...yep, you have great in-laws but importantly you have great imagination...did I mention I love it...
just adorable. I love your work. So intricate....

Had a giggle at your dil's comment.
and your playgroup bag is wonderful. Clever you! It is always the way, that you find the hard way when you wing it but no pain, no gain.
It is lovely!
so is your birdy block....
You are so clever, Fiona. I think I'll call it Playgroup from now on.
This is such a gorgeous bag. I love all the cute and whimsical stitching and applique. Clever and talented in-laws - I'm sure you treasure them!
An absolutely super bag, very wonderful and beautifully made.
I love your play group bag. I'm sure you will be the envy of all the other "kids."
And are you going to turn it into a pattern for us? Pretty please?! I love it and know a Nana who it would be perfect for :)
