I made a birdie!!

Look at him! He's glorious... I got the design from the book Sew! by Cath Kidston. He's filled with lots of lovely lavender and will spend the rest of his days in my sister-in-law's sock drawer...

Fabrics! Sewing Machine! Cath Kidston!

Shame on me for not writing! I've been getting books - Sew! by Cath Kidston and The Complete Book of Patchwork Quilting & Applique by Linda Seward, both fine books.

and collecting fabrics...

And t'other day I bought a sewing machine!

I've just been practicing on it today...

Obviously... I need a lot more practice before I'm let loose on a real project...

Further updates soon!
