I'm on a roll

I have completed the stitchery's for Block A, very happy that I am ahead at this stage, as last month I hadn't finished the stitchery's until the last day of May,
not sure if it will stay this way. 
Now to get cutting.
                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                

Do you think using a pigma pen for the mouths and eyes is cheating,
or is it better 
to stitch them in?. I would love your opinions on this before 
I decide what to do.

Happy Stitching!!

I love the colours in your stitchery Mandy, I just like to do tiny french knots for all eyes and I don't mind doing the mouths but it's your quilt, do it whichever way works for you!!

Your colors are bright. I can't see the table in the 'potting the plants'. Did you do it? I think if you use a pen that would be fine. In some projects in the paste, I've painted on mine instead of doing stitchery. This is your creation so you decide.

Great bright fresh colours. To pigma pen or not to pigma pen...I always stitch the details but it's your quilt and I think you should do whatever makes you happy. Looking forward to seeing the whole block together with your fabrics.
