Easter Weekend

 Hello friends. I hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend. 

I had a nice quiet 4 days seeing family and relaxing. Happily disposed of some chocolate and Easter Hot Cross buns. I also had quite a readathon. And Stitchathon. Pure indulgence for me.
This one I really enjoyed. The cover grabbed me from the beginning....
And the inside cover....beautiful William Morris design. I loved the mystical tale.
I have been wanting to use the small spool my friend Fiona gave me last birthday. Because I LOVE French General fabric I can never quite throw scraps away. I have tried but failed. So I have a little container of snippets and I felt they would be perfect to save on a Snippet Roll and the little spool would be a good match.
So when I wasn't curled up reading I stitched my new little roll. I came to the conclusion that I would need a dozen to feature all my French General favourites lol!
It was really difficult to photograph so I hope you get the gist.




I think friends I have a bit of an addiction to these lol!
I finished my 2nd Caswell block before I began the spool. I only had a little bit to do on it....looks nicer in real life. Looks all wrinkly in that photo * sigh
Block 3 is underway....just. Such a nice project to stitch.
With all the showery weather we've had lately my Blue Ginger has decided that it would honour me with 3 flower spikes. The Bluebanded bees love the flowers!

OK time for me to be off....sun is shining so laundry awaits.
Thank you to those of you that I cannot reply to for your lovely comments. Each one appreciated x
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    Beautiful snippet roll Michelle and lovely to treasure those small pieces of fabric. Your Caswell block is gorgeous too. I love Salley Vickers books but I don't think I have read that one. Just looked it up, fairly recent so it hasnt reached the charity shops yet lol. Have added it to my birthday list. I see she has a new one out this summer. Sounds like you had a lovely relaxing Easter. xx

    Those spools are so pretty with the French General fabric. There are some really pretty fabrics in the Caswell block. I'm glad you had a nice Easter weekend.

    I'm pleased you had a happy and peaceful Easter. We went away in the caravan and the weather was rather cold and windy, not very nice at all.
