Two more blocks finished

Today I got this finished to send to Debbi in Australia. We are swapping a postcard with a floral theme.
I almost had this finished and found I'd made a mistake, so made another. I hope it goes thru the post ok!

I did some stitching while I was away, but not much. I now have 2 more blocks finished, so 3 in total and working on the 4th. (You might have to enlarge the photo to see the stitching).

These are some of my finds while I was away. I will have lots of fun using these! I love this cover, (below), it looks like a tea cosy, but as it's thin cotton I don't think it would keep anything warm! I love it all the same, however, I have no idea what I might do with it yet!

I have a lace tea cosy in this shape, made by my great-aunt - it was used over a padded cosy of the same shape.

Nice work! I can see you collect doilies, too! I use them in my work all the time - it is great to see how they change character when used in a different context!

By the way, I LOVE Footrot Flats - saw that you are living on the North Island where Wal and Dog have their home, too! And I am the lucky owner of the true incarnation of dog, a border collie mix called Gustav ;-)
