In and out of the Sewing Room

First up hubs and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary today.    We were given a bottle of Moet at Christmas time and thought it was fitting to enjoy it for our wedding anniversary.

I was given this jigsaw puzzle for Christmas and was itching to make a start.   

And I can report that it is now a finish.

While out in the garden I spotted this empty bird nest that had fallen out of a tree.    How intricately it was woven and had the softest lining inside.    How clever is mother nature.  

One of my goals for this year was to learn two techniques - one being scrappy applique.     Progress so far

Linking with Put Your Foot Down

                      Finished or Not Friday  

                      Patchwork & Quilting

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
