May Zoo Animal and a Birthday Needlebook

I finished my giraffe for the Zoo Animal Quilt Along at Quiet Play just in time.
The parrot or maybe it's a blue macaw will be next for June and Kristy has the pattern out!

Here's the menagerie so far!  Just 4 blocks left!


I put together a little birthday needlebook for a friend.

As I've done before, I stamped the little center block, coloring the stamp with fabric marker and then coloring in  with sharpie colors.

Inside a pocket and some stamped labels for happiness.

Linking up with Kristy at Quiet Play.  Drop by and see all the pretty giraffes!
