My First Finish for 2010!!

Here’s the wallhanging I gave you all a sneaky peek at in my last post. All of these gorgeous stitched blocks were made for me by my lovely stitching friends from Among The Gumtrees!!! January 10 049They each made me a block for my birthday last year ……… and this is how they all came together.

This one is done by Cheryl, I love the colour shading ;o).January 10 060Jenny did these lovely roses ……January 10 061Vicki did the terrific foundation piecing on this one …….January 10 062 Cute little applique’d birdies from Dawn ……. January 10 063Vikki added this pretty ceramic button…… January 10 064And this sweet heart from FionaJanuary 10 065Judith sent me a pack of delish “Somerset Cottage” charms which have become the beautiful border and the 9 patch blocks. AND this adorable little birdie who’s flying across the top of the finished wallhanging!!January 10 059 I love how this has turned out …… thank you so much my “gawjus” friends :o) … I’ll think of you all everytime I look at it :o)!!
