The frost on my pots looks quite pretty but I think the bulbs are too cold to pop their heads up from the dirt yet.
To keep warm I have been doing lots of stitching, Hubby is on night shift so I can't really get the sewing machine out when he is trying to sleep. I'm hanging out for the day I get my own sewing room. I can sew all day if i want to and not bother anyone.I have put part 2 and 3 of Vignette together and just started to stitch on it.
I love these little flowers. I quite enjoy stitching on a different coloured fabric for change rather than the plain white or tea stain.
Block 1 is almost done, just a few more flowers and stems to go and I must finish my birds tail.
I'm using Fig tree fabrics for this quilt so I have matched my threads to my fabrics, its quite soft and very pretty to work on.
Instead of doing satin stitch I have done french knots, it takes longer but I like the look better.

I hope you find some stitching time today.

I won't tell you that we had a glorious sunny weekend then. Any little birdies visitng will need boots on. Stay warm and happy stitching.
Your stitching is perfect. Looks lovely with the fig tree fabric - is it buttercup? I have some of the buttercup fabric set aside for a different quilt - I just love it! Happy Stitching
This stitching is so bright and cheerful - the perfect antidote to our cold weather!
