Sewing progress!

Remember this? It is a McKenna Ryan pattern called "In Full Bloom". (you can check it out on her website) It is made up of 8 blocks, and yes, it's all applique! I have been working on it for 2 years, and have just about finished another block. Yay!! I have to sew all these pieces on now, and then block 5 will be finished.
I made this little atc too, if there is anyone who would like to swap with me let me know!

Now you will remember Bird from the last post, well I guess you could say I suffered a case of cot death on Wednesday night. So I cared for him for 24 hours, and then I think he just missed his real mum way too much! He has gone to where all good birds go!
This is a pic of him taken on Wed morning when he was trying to take some steps.
Hope you are all fantastic!
