Easter stitching

Happy Easter! It has been really nice to have a couple of days off work after a very hectic period.
I have managed to finish my first item off my FAL list already:


I have a lot of cushions in my house so I think this one will head off to my etsy shop


I am working on my 2nd finish. I got my hipbee quilt all basted


And I started hand quilting it last night, I much prefer hand quilting. I decided to follow the large off point squares made by the black


It has ended up giving it a great pattern of squares. The weather today isn't meant to be great so I will probably get more of this done. And maybe some more of these too



My newest project, log cabins made with 1.5" strips. Its going to take a while!
Enjoy your day
