Pay It Forward Love and Sew Bee Blissful: Block 2

Do you guys know Jennifer from Knotted Thread?  Jennifer is a relatively new blogger.  She makes absolutely beautiful stuff, so do jump over and see what she's up to this week.  She totally took me by surprise and sent this absolute beauty as my PIF hand made gift.  It is the most fantstic mini quilt wallhanging I have ever seen.  Isn't it great!?!?  I am falling over myself in excitement! 



I have been dying to post about this for several days, but the weather has been horrid so I can't get out and get a good photo.  This photo doesn't do justice to the greens.  Jennifer's photos are better on her blog, so you can really see its beauty here. 

Anyway, I happen to be lucky enough to sign up for her PIF a few weeks ago.  She knows I absolutely love the Swoon blocks she has been making...so she gave me one of my own!  Even better, though - it has a little sheep buddy :)  I love it.  It does totally remind me of happy fields just outside of Galway where the happy sheep live.  Its even hand quilted.  Can you see that?  Incredible.  What could be more perfect?  Thank you, Jennifer!

In other news, the fabric to make my second Sew Be Blissful block has arrived!  I have been looking forward to giving this a try!  This month our Mama is Celynn of the Sunflower Patch.  She is looking for a little owl using this tutorial.  I will try my best!

Celynn sent several beautiful fabrics to work with, so I am excited to get started.  I need to really spend some time looking at the tutorial and sorting through the fabrics to be sure I create contrast, thereby letting the little owl shine through. 

Fingers crossed I create something she likes!
