I have been working on the little embroideries on this quilt in my spare time..It has really been fun and relaxing...I dug into my scraps and fat quarters and put the blocks together...the pattern just shows the quilt at this size, but I am going to be putting borders on it to make it just a little bigger...

 Some close ups of the embroidered blocks...

 This is my Birdie Stitches quilt all quilted and bound...I really had fun making this and am really excited to finish....

The quilt was literally free except for the quilting as I just used embroidery floss and fabric on hand to make this...just love a finish!!!

and finally...December's Birdie Stitches block!!!

I am just thrilled to finish up block 12 of this BOM, Birdie Stitches from the blog www.littlemissshabby.com.  I had so much fun with this project...I cut up my scraps and sewed them up and now I am working on constructing the quilt.  It will be a queen 84"x84".  Hopefully I can find another fun BOM to do this coming year that has been as fun as this one!!  Stay tuned to see how this quilt turns out!!

Christmas Hotpads and Little Birdie Stitches

 These are the Christmas hotpads for 2012.  Since Christmas is all about gifts, I thought these would be really fun for the festive season...

A little bit batty...

 I found the inspiration for this pillow on Pinterest...I went to JoAnns over the weekend and bought some wool felt to make this pillow (it was 40% off!!!)  You can find the tutorial here...

 I arranged my bats in a different order because I cut them larger than shown on the tutorial...

 Found this spooky Halloween dot at Bernina's on Saturday for the back...Try this out.  It was a lot of fun to make and not too time consuming...

Block 2 Little Birdie Stitches

 I have been piecing 12 1/2" blocks of 2 1/2" squares to sew with the Little Birdie Stitches.  This is a great project to make a fun quilt and use up all those scraps that I have boxes and boxes of.  I have been really enjoying this in between other projects.  I'm trying to incorporate Bonnie Hunter's leaders and enders.  It saves on thread and it is amazing how quickly they sew up.

The February block for Little Birdie Stitches.  If you haven't been stitching these and would like to, it stiches up really fast and it is a fun take along project.  The finished block is 12 1/2" and the demo is done with Sunkissed, which is beautiful.  The button for this project is on my sidebar.

Little Birdie Stitches

Little Birdie Stitches is a BOM embroidery project that is absolutely adorable.  I have a button on my sidebar if you wish to check it out.  The featured project is done out of the springy fabric line "Sunkissed" by Sweetwater.  However, I need to use up my mounds of scraps and what better way to have them shine than to include some fun embroidery with them...So, here's my first block...
