Le Jardin Block #2 and Other Things

Here is block 2 of Le Jardin (Bunny Hill Designs) that I finished last night.

There were only five of those small leaves to do before I left for Scotland. You'd think I would get right back to it upon my return, but the second snowman in Snowbound (also by Bunny Hill) just called too loudly. Sorry for the creases. There are still a few tracing lines visible, which will fade on their own, but not if I iron them.



And as if postie knew that I finished this part last night, the materials for block # 3 arrived this afternoon. Yay! Aren't they pretty?

And to take advantage of the shipping cost from the USA (the fixed-rate envelope takes 7 yards of fabric ;o)) I just had to order a few other bits and pieces and Shabby Fabrics happened to have a sale going on.

Firstly, another Bunny Hill Designs *and* more snowmen: "Postcard Cuties for Winter"

secondly, another Bunny Hill Designs (you'd think I have a thing for them, wouldn't you? ;o)): Simply Hearts, another gorgeous design by Anne Sutton:

and last but not least, a few fabrics which caught my eye, with "From the Heart" in mind, another appliqué and stitchery pattern which I recently bought, by Daisies and Dragonflies from Australia:

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a very clear picture of this pattern availabe, so you'll just have to wait till I start it.

Hmmm, now, what's next? There is so much to choose from, between all the Chatelaine projects which I have on the go, and all these lovely appliqué/patchwork projects.

It may just have to be a new start: Leanne's House. Block 1 arrived recently and it is soooo gorgeous and fun to stitch!
