Ta Da!

It is a very cheery place here down in the woods as the last two bear blocks are finished.

Yes the last little bear is all stitched up.

Any ideas about what this new quilt might be about???? I think it is perhaps obvious now that my new design is called "Calendar Bears" and there is a sweet little bear for each month of the year. Some will be clearly celebrating well known events for that month and others are more personal to me but I am sure that you can identify with them e.g. August has little heart raindrops to signfy the raindrops that fell just after our wedding ceremony which took place that month. June is a little busy quilter with touches of lavender as a tribute to a lovely lady called June who gave me my best friend Ann. I am a bit scared about November as I think maybe I could have been channelling myself on the beach. EEk! I am really thrilled with these little furry people and I am now choosing fabrics to help them become a quilt. I loved choosing their colours and outfits too. Time to start something new. I have some cute snowmen trying to get my attention, some Dresden plates I fancy and of course a trillion UFO's I could pay attention too....hmmm!
Lastly I wanted to share with you a photo my lovely friend Diane sent to me of a gift she made for a friend of hers using my "Stitcher's Alphabet".

She made a lovely shoe bag for her friend Fionna. It is gorgeous! I hear Fionna was thrilled with it too.
I am really pleased that lots of you are really enjoying creating with the Alphabet.
That is it from me. Lots to do.
I wish you a joyful weekend with those you care about.
