Needle turned applique

...... a new project!  This is for sewing at Calder Quilters sit and sew sessions.

This is the first block of the 'block of the month' that I didn't start in January - but hey it's June and I have done ONE!!

A close up of the bird - I bought this bird print fabric in America last year

And this is the start of the SECOND block.

Here is a photo of the completed mini shelf quilt

I finished quilting this and put the binding on at the weekend.
