April Already!

I'm up nice and early this morning, looking at the sailing boats bopping around in the sea off the coast of Cornwall - who can sleep with a view like this?!?


Apparently, the answer is my husband! (sorry for the rubbish pic, my phone can't cope with this much sunshine!)

I decided to get in early on the fresh sewing day at Lily's Quilts so that I can go enjoy the sunshine.

Here's the last month's work:


A little present for my nephew to encourage him to eat his greens



Presents for my mum and a uni friend's newborn


And Hubby's nearly finished Birthday quilt

I've also started to make some blocks for Siblings Together, which is a brilliant charity. Follow the link for more info:

Quilts for Siblings Together

Here's my first attempt at a block.

And finally, some selfish sewing for me!




Happy April!

Ooooh, I forgot to tell you about one of my birthday presents! I got this:


by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh, Fransson and it is sooooo useful - I wish I'd had it earlier.

  6. Stopping by via Lily's Quilts. I just read through the Elizabeth Hartman book as well and am excited to try out some of her projects. I love your eyeglass holder - I have someone special in my life who needs one of those! And that little A embroidery is darling.
