A bear and some ladybugs....

Little Miss J is sitting amongst the Jasmine

(alphabet bears designed by Michelle Ridgeway)


... then feeling a bit overwhelmed with my different projects I decided to start something new....


worked on the wool project at a friends house....
... who provided just the right kind of support ....


.. and she happens to live near a quilt store....
(like 3 minutes walk near!!!!)

... so I got some pieces for another new project ...



This week the blocks for Natures Journey were done to keep up with the June Stitch-a-Long plan

I love these blocks.. those circles are made up of 25 little 1 1/2" squares each... so effective...


I bought some new nail clippers last week and they came packaged with a couple of these toe dividers....


I don't need my toes divided so I am using them to hold my bobbins .....


... here are the little heart and ladybird blocks....


... that's all the little blocks done now... next month is the biggie!!!


Righto, Gotto Go... I better get some things done so I can play ... such fun ... I love our craft....

    Dear Fiona,
    looks like you got a plan, love your Nature's Journey blocks, lovely, lovely blocks.
    And the little Alphabet bear is just too cute.
    I don't need a toe devider either, too bad I threw them away. Not any more, great idea.
    Greetings,
    Sylvia

    A great way to beat that overwhelming feeling is to start a new project and put the others to the back of your mind!! Love your projects - old and new. Miss J is such a sweetie! Take care xx

    Love this month's instalments! absolutely gorgeous.
    very sweet stitchery
    great repurposing of your toe divider, so reassuring that all your toes get along well that they don't require separating

    Lovely little blocks and sweet bear stitching. Love your attitude regarding starting a new project. Definitely works for me. Can you imagine how dangerous it would be to live that close to a quilt shop!!

    Love your new fabrics Fiona. Your Natures Journey pieces are lovely - the little squares are so effective but a closer close up would be great? xx

    Good idea to start a new project while the others sit looking for attention. Did those yummy sweets distract you? Lovely new blocks and fabrics.
