A fun gift for a friend, 4 house blocks and a stitchery

Here's a gift I made for my friend, Carol. Her birthday was last Friday but she took some time off and will be back at work tomorrow so I want to surprise her with this little girl. She hates to celebrate her birthday but I think this will be ok...I copied this from Material Mary's blog but I added a few extras to mine. Thanks, Mary for the inspiration. Carol is the big 6-0!! Happy Birthday, Carol.










Here's 4 little house blocks for my exchange. These are 4 1/2" and we will swap these. We are half way there on this little quilt. You'll see the finished project soon!



Here's the little stitchery I've been working on. I have to press it and mount it. I'm going to put it in a frame and put some tatting around it. I'll show you the finished one in a few days. I just wanted to share it. I really like this one. I got this from Shell's blog, the Raspberry Rabbit...see the button on the right, Sentimental Journey. She's having free stitcheries all year. You can make this into a little quilt or do whatever you want to with it.
