Spring squares received

I received these lovely squares from Kendra recently for the Fair and Square - Spring round. I love the swirls, especially those in the butterfly's wings - I think they add movement or zest or something I can't find quite the right word for, to a design - my own little flight of fancy undoubtedly, but it keeps me happy :)

I have a little Spring pillow I finished a couple of years ago and I'm hoping the same fabrics will look as good with this design so I can make a co-ordinating one with these squares. I think they'll look perfect together.

Thank you Kendra for a beautiful exchange!

A little extra...
Carol R. is having a beaded fob giveaway, so pop over to her blog and throw your name in the hat while there's still time.

Hope you all have a stitchy day :)

ASOE - Spring received

I've received my ASOE - Spring ornie from Sharon and it's gorgeous! It's one of those carrot-y shaped designs that I've seen around and I quite like their quirkiness so was very pleased to receive one for my exchange.



I love the sunflower? side, it's really bright and cheerful, very Spring-y IMHO!


I'm trying to be a bit more creative with my pictures and thought I'd try an outdoor shot - I won't give up my day job anytime soon... LOL
The other side is more subtle but no less lovely and I'm going to guess they're violets because a) they look like violets and b) I like violets, so it makes me happy to think that they are :)


Sharon, thank you very much for a lovely exchange, I really, really like it!
