New Start & Christmas Presents

Despite my determination to get the Snowbound top finished before the end of the year, I caved and started Postcard Cuties for Winter, also by Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs:




The blocks are quite small and such fun to work on. This is block 1. It still needs a star button attaching to the top of the tree. I ordered the embellishment kit which hasn't arrived yet.
I'm so glad I ordered the fabric kit, which contains the original ones which Anne chose when she designed this pattern.

Here are some of my Christmas presents:

From my parents a Christmast isssue of an Australian qulting magazine, a pattern by Lynette Anderson, a very cute cat statue. The cat paw wasn't included in my presents ;o)

My nephew bought us this cute birdie.

And my niece bought these toy rats for our four furry friends.

She also bought me two books by Barbara Erskine and a CD of the musical Mary Poppins. Considering that she is in college and earns her pocket money during weekends and holidays, it is so generous of her to buy us presents!
