Hooray! finished block G

At last I have something to show.....
finished block G and I love it....

 

Okay so I'm a bit behind the schedule but I'm not too fussed about that.... I am really enjoying stitching the blocks at my pace (slow) with only a little pressure, which is good....



and I have been stitching a few blocks out of order, but I don't think that really matters... oh and I have been working on other projects as well..... this is my favourite at the moment though, nothing nicer than sitting down after dinner by the fire (alright gas pretend fire) watching Masterchef with my family.... hubby, two dogs and one cat, everybody loves the fire..... with my stitching on my lap..... happy stitching everyone, Sheryl in country Victoria, Australia.
