April's stitchery

I am just scraping into April,  though I have had this embroidery finished for a few days.
Last month I did a bird embroidery, and now this is another one.  I have a third ready to stitch now.  I am thinking I will do a few more then make ......ummm..... something.  (table topper, runner, placemats, or something different )  I will decide when I have more of them as it depends on how many stitcheries I find to do.

April ~ 1 Block and a Gift

My goodness you girls are quick off the mark this month ... I see lots of busy, happy Elves with gorgeous projects.

I've managed to finish my first block of  'A Merry Christmas Garden' ...

a lot of work but I'm happy with my attempt at needle turn applique.

Two days before our local show I decided I needed to enter a pincushion so out came the 2.5" squares ...

pretty chuffed that it got a 2nd place and now it's going into the Xmas gift stash.

Happy Christmas sewing to all xx
