Birds & Butterflies!

good afternoon!

after a lovely morning tea at gunabul homestead
comprised of a tall berry smoothie,
scones with jam and cream
and cheesecake and caramel squares..just little pieces...

i came home to a mown lawn...
smelling heavenly
{don't you just love the look and smell of newly mown grass!}

&

two packages in the letter box,
one from the fat quarter shop..mmmm!
&
a package from maree..from 'on my verandah'
there were 6 cushion covers inside...
all for the kids at nanango primary school...

i'm just going to treat you to two today..haha!



here they are on the black couch..aren't they pretty...
they look like spring and Easter all in one!




little birds 'n' patches
and candy colours!


a baby blue and brown back with unusual mauve buttons...

the second cushion

beautiful butterfly fabric..feels and looks like seersucker...
and daisies.


more butterflies and daisies in a field of green on the back
and butter yellow buttons.

these are fabulous maree
and will brighten up the classroom no end!

maree makes delightful quilts and has a shop
full of fabric and quilting do dahs...
she'd love you to visit and say hi,
i'm sure.

  8. You are a marvel. Freshly cut grass not for me. In spring time it gives me terrible hayfever. Have a lovely Easter Charmaine

  10. Hi Carol, gorgeous cushions again, I dont know how you fit so much into your day!! I have loved the fat quarter shop for a very long time, but found their shipping was quite expensive... I have bought some fabrics from etsy and their shipping is a lot cheaper. Thanks too for the advice about the made it button!! Will get around to adding that once i have put in the pages along the top under my header; been meaning to do that for months!
    Hope you and your family have a really wonderful weekend!
    Hugs from Laura xx
