Block 4

Its been awhile since I showed any sneak peaks of the new BOM so I thought Id share some from Block 4 (just so you know Im still working on it lol). Im currently working on Block 6, so I promise to catch you up!!!

The Ladybird (or Ladybug) block and a section of the "Right Hand of Friendship" Star.

There can even be beauty in the common old Garden Snail!!!

I really enjoyed appliquing this Four Leaf Clover block!!! Alas I still use the old freezer paper method but Im happier with the points and the curves!!

I also want to share a special gift I received in the mail yesterday:

This gorgeous parcel came from Julie. I sent her a copy of my Summer Garden Tablerunner pattern and as a "thank you" (which was unexpected) she sent me this and I just looooooooooooooove it!!! The fabrics are devine and I already have plans!!!.........im picturing a bag, the cottons will make a great stitchery and the little Quilters clip can be stitched inside to hold my scissors!!!!

Thank you sooooooooo much Julie!!! You made me feel so special!!!

This BOM definitely has to be my next purchase from you! When it's ready. Maybe I can get other patterns before it is? I guess that makes this the next after next purchase. =)
