Block C Gardener's Journal Finished!!

I'm pleased to show you that I have finally finished my Block C of the Gardener's Journal! This house block sure had a lot of stitching in it, didn't it??


The dog house was an absolute joy to stitch after the house block!!


And I'm glad I took Sylvia's suggestion and foundation pieced this wreath block because it was so much easier! And I'm a bit of a fan of foundation piecing anyway!


And so here is the completed block C!! Hooray!! I've nearly completed the stitching for Block H so should hopefully get that put together some time this week! Eventually I will catch up with everyone else!! Thankyou to those of you who have sent messages and prayers while I recuperated from my knee operation too - they are all most appreciated!! I did think I would get more stitching done than I did, but that just didn't happen!! Hope you all have a great week and keep on stitching - these quilts are going to look fantastic when they are all finished!! Thanks again Chookyblue for the inspiration!!
