My bluebirds blocks have made it into a flimsy this week
... just delightful little stitcheries .... they are in months with Australian celebrations so we have:-
Australia Day (January)
Valentines Day (Feb)
Easter (March) though it is often in April
Anzac Day - April
Mothers Day - May
Queens Birthday - June
Winter - July
Friendship Day - August (to be honest I didn't know about this one!)
Wattle Day - September
Halloween - October
Melbourne Cup - November
Christmas - December
I am thinking about how to do the quilting... I don't want to stitch over the embroidered parts .....
(designed by Christine)
I stitched up the little extra bluebird pattern for a label
.... meanwhile my dog made a good subject for a bit of fun ....
.... Righto, Gotto Go.... have a lovely rest of the week...

We really need to convince Christine to release the patterns for us to purchase. I have loved this with it's Australian seasons since I saw the beginning of the stitcheries.
Well done.

This is one of the loveliest designs I have seen and you have done a brilliant job.

Hi Fiona your blocks are beautiful cant wait to see it finished and your poor dog looks like she has been chopped up,lol,enjoy your evening my friend.xx
Lovely bluebird stitcheries. Look forward to seeing the way you quilt it.
Interesting photos of your dog?
Beautiful stitcheries Fiona and an extra for the label, a lovely idea. Can't say that I have heard of friendship day either.
Those look so beautiful in the background and I like how the blue edge gives it a 3D effect.
