I'm Back Home

Even my sister is asking why I haven't posted since I left Florida.
I'm having a hard time getting back on a schedule.
Here is some sewing I've finished:



I'm very happy to be all caught up on the Fatquarter Shop Mystery BOM and I've done two blocks for each month!!

These last three were so fun to make, especially the mitten!
++++++++++
 
I'm doing the Birdie Stitches BOM from Little Miss Shabby and will be using Fandango fabric with it:


I only have about five minutes of embroidery left to do on the February block and will show that when I have the Fandango patchwork borders on the blocks.

I got a beautiful bouquet for a special occasion and wanted to share it:

 
Time to get to bed so I can get up early to spend the day with Audrey tomorrow.

Your blocks are all great. I was going to do the little bird block but now I have decided to pass. So busy.

It is hard to get back into a routine once you've been out of it for a while. But you'll get back into the swing of things soon.

Mary, your Christmas blocks are soooo cute! And I just love those birdie stitcheries. I'm thinking of giving them a try myself - but I'm just learning to embroider so I hope I don't make a mess of them! :o(

Gorgeous flowers, too!

XOXO,

Cyndi

Hi Mary - same to thing happened to me when we got back from our FLA vacation - just couldn't get back in the swing of things! I'm doing the Birdie BOM too - can you tell me what thread you are using? Your block looks great. I sure wish I'd have done the Fat Quarter Shop Christmas mystery quilt - I love it so far!

Your blocks are looking great, both the patchwork and the stitchery.
But of course the flowers are just beautiful - I'd love to be able to smell them, too!
