What conjures up in your mind when you hear May day...
I always think of the May Day Festival in Cornwall
celebrating the first day of Spring.
Here in South Australia we are a far cry from Spring.
It's cold and wet wet wet... and I don't mind...
Wonderful weather for curling up near the fire and sipping hot tea...
Sewing with a little girl is on the agenda today.
She has a little bag to finish....so I better be quick.
Below is Block Five 'Out of the Box' and I love this block...
reminds me of lots of different things..
1. Front door- Our Home,
2. Spring bulbs getting ready to burst in a few months.
3. Hexagons taught to me by my dear friend Vicki...
I had not really wanted to make any for a long time
and now am hooked on them and added pearls as you are a special lady Vicki.
4. Union Jack is my homeland and Australia's stars
added as this is my home now and I love it.
Are you making the stitcheries personal to you... it's not hard to do...
Block Five of 'Out of the Box' is ready to download HERE
and don't forget to visit Vicki for her block five too!

Thank you for another lovely block.
It is spring here now. All plants are so fantastic.
Happy May Day to you too. This months block is lovely.
Have to put going to a May Day Festival on the 'to do' list for one day. It sounds like a lovely idea. Your stitching & fabric colours on that block are beautiful. Tracee xx
Aquí es primavera,pero el sol se está haciendo de rogar para salir ,tenemos nubes y agua.Los bloques que haceis para las mantas son hermosos.Espero verla terminada.Te espero en mi blog,un abrazo de Conchi de Dale al pincel.
Happy May Day, dear Dawn! The first of May means flowers to me - flowers bursting out all over. YAY! Love block 5, it's perfect as always - the front door looks wonderful, I love it. I went and voted for your friend, she's in second place now, let's get her into first! The quilt is just stunning!
Love how you added the Union Jack to your pretty block, Dawn! So fitting with the Royal Wedding! :-)
