Q1 - Christmas robin + March goal


It is never too early to make those Christmas gifts or deco. Plus I can tick one more project from my Q1 FAL list.


I decided to go with a little hand quilting. I added some French knots to the wreath and I love it.
Please meet Christmas robin No.2. I made the first one back in 2013 and you can find it here.


The pattern is by Kristy @ Quiet Play. I only changed the ribbon into 3D version. No. one created some scraps as I used charm squares for the bird and that is why I made No.2. The wreath is made out of jelly roll strip which fits perfectly.


As for my March ALYoF goal. I'm going with Super tote. It is about time I cut into that lovely Echino.

  11. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww your newest robin is just adorable - so pretty :) The French knots are an awesome addition - and I agree with Lara - your work is always so well done! I have to ask though - did you take your photograph outside???!! Here our choices would be, for any kind of outdoor photography ... deep blinding white snow or dirty snow, lol! I need to hang some Ebay ribbon on my clothesline (it smells of chemicals) but the snow on my back patio is so deep I need someone to shovel me a path first, lol!
