Puts hand up sheepishly...........

Pardon me lovely ladies, but I just wanted to say what a wonderful job you have all been doing on your blocks.
And just so you don't all think I have dropped off the stitch-a-long, here is a pic of the stitcheries I have done so far. I am way behind but I don't mind as I have been slowly progressing at my own slow pace LOL.
I have completed the stitcheries for the first 2 blocks and the next lot is ready to go, including that huge house!!

the house isn't too bad cause you get lots of easy up and down straight lines......

Hi Anita! Don't be put off by the house...it has alot of straight stitching but its so rewarding once you've finished, one of my favourite stitcheries!
