A lot of sewing time happening this week, but I don't feel like I have much to show for it.
I've spent quite a bit of time on my Princess Feather block, but goodness me, the ins and outs of the feather shape take ages to do. 

What was I thinking taking this on?  There are 3 more blocks after this one, each about 30" square.  But, really, I'm sure it will look really good when it's finished- there's a lovely applique border around the whole lot.
The lovely piece of red fabric from Somerset Patchwork and Quilting arrived.  Ohhh, just as nice as I'd remembered.  Still don't know what to use it for, but so gorgeous.

Have also been working on what feels like the largest pin cushion in the universe.
It's got a "hollow" centre to put your thread, scissors, etc into.
I'm going to make another one, but downsize it by about a third I think.

Stuffing the outer was a bit of a challenge, thank goodness for small handed DK's.  I'm still making pincushions to leave around the house in strategic spots.  You can never have too many pincushions.
The weather has been really cold and bleak for the last few days, perfect for stitching inside and not feeling guilty about leaving the garden to its own devices for a while.
I know Spring is on the way, though.  My plum trees have burst out in blossom all of a sudden.

I love the look of this time of year- the sudden burst of green leaves and swelling flower buds.  Nature waking up after the winter.
