I also love that I finally decided what to make out of my little 'whimsy bird with wonky flying geese' that I stitched a long time ago. I have a friend from work who needs a little cheering up plus it is her 40th Birthday on Saturday so this gave me the idea that I could make her a little zippy pouch to hold a gift card to her favourite store.

I hope she likes it! I love the bright pink zipper in contrast with the icy pale blue linen. For some reason I really struggled with the zipper this time and must admit it is not my best work. But hey - it zips open and it zips closed so that is enough 'perfection' for me! Here is the back - I did some free motion flowers using four different colours of Aurifil thread. I think I love the back as much as the front! Quite whimsical and feminine I think.

So there you have it - I made a zippy pouch with some happy flowers and a happy soaring bird flying high above the mountains. Yay!

And yay again - a completed 'Lovely Year of Finishes' project :) Here is my original goal setting post.
I MISSED THE LINK UP!! Boo to me for being silly thinking I could link up on the 1st of June. Oh well. But good news - this is one of my seven 2nd Quarter Goals with She Can Quilt.

I agree with you Amy - I love May. All the flowers, the sunny days... it's great! That little pouch is amazing. Your friend is a lucky girl. :-)
May is usually one of my favourites too, but this year is a bit of a wash out.
Gorgeous pouch.
May is my favourite month too. It is a pity that it hasn't been warm though. The wee pouch is such a perfect present. Di x
it's lovely!
Definitely lovely, and a very thoughtful gift too!
Lucky friend, it's gorgeous! x
These are lovely - the little bird is very sweet, and so are the flowers!
