Lizzie the quilter: Swap gifts

Now my wonderful friend Anthea has her gifts from me I can share what I made her. We both love Nat Bird designs so we decided to make each other something designed by Nat. I made this cute little cushion, it was so much fun to make. Anthea is a girl after my own heart and loves Fig tree fabrics so I dug into my stash and found all my pretty fabrics.

As easter was approaching we also made each other an easter surprise. I made this cute stitching bag. The bunny on the front is designed by Bronwyn Hayes. Its an old pattern but still lovely. Thankyou for swapping with my Anthea.

I had big plans for easter sewing but a horrid cold has knocked me for 6 so I have not done much at all. Yesterday I sat on the couch with a quilt and some stitching, between a few coughing fits and the odd nana nap I got this project all stitched.

And last night I stitched a little on my new tilda project. I love working on this, its just so pretty. I may find some energy today to do a bit more.

I hope everyone is having a lovely easter.

I'll put it on the blog Monday. It's free and cute so I might try. Sorry you have a cold! Hope you feel better soon!

Anthea said...: Leanne you poor thing, that's bad that you are sick over the Easter break:(...
The Tilda project will be so pretty, I love those fabrics...
I have been wondering if the bunny is a Bronwyn design, I found it so hard to find one I liked for an Easter project...
