Seven Swans

Seven Swans a Swimming (a)
Well.....only one, really.  Isn't it pretty?  Seven Swans Swimming from Nora Corbett's Twelve Days of Christmas series.  I do like her interpretation of the twelve days, very elegant.

Peeks

Ooohhh!  I started it!  I started it!  Born to Quilt, that is!  I had to begin with Block #4, which has two very cute sheep and a few little birds.  All the pieces have been appliqued...but everyone still needs their little faces, feet and accessories.  Peek #1
Peek #2
And, finally, Peek #3 with the little redbirds on their blue plaid background:
I know you can't tell what is what, just yet.  Off to complete all the embroidery and attach some pretty, little buttons I bought yesterday.  Speaking of which...OMG!  I spent a small fortune on "pretty, little buttons" for this quilt yesterday.  Hopefully, they will add that little something extra. :))

Tiny Town

Ta Da!!  Block #2 of my Tiny Town by Bunny Hill Designs.

A few extra embellishments...the ric rac trim on the houses.  It just seems that these should be more "gingerbread" type houses.
