Sammie asked me how I was going with the SAL..............well I have block A completed..........yippee.....
a few weeks ago I just wanted to fiddle so I joined lots of pieces of all the blocks and they are all safely in snap lock bags.......
some garden inspiration.......I am stitching the flower wreaths at the moment.........
stitching progress......tools done, dog house all but done......both the wreaths should be finished tonight.........and the house well I am loving stitching it......... actually enjoying the simple straight lines...........but so I didn't get overwhelmed I have only traced a bit stitched it and then traced a bit more.........I had been stalling on it....but finally made the start..........
and I stuffed up awhile ago and traced the wrong stitchery.........here is block B but it isn't complete.......the big blue block is supposed to have 2 hearts on it but it just doesn't fit with me so I am trying to decide if I need a stitchery there or not..........
I have worked out a plan I think to put in there..............what do you think???
and I was struggling to work out where this stitchery went...........but finally found it in block "F"
so if you haven't got a block together show us your progress anyway..........the blog is on fire this weekend with posts and blocks completed.........well done girls...........keep up the great stitching........
Catch you later..............

I didn't catch that about the hearts although I saw them on someone's block..Have to check my book..I was the same way about that flower basket..I had traced it but didn't know where it went so didn't stitch it, thought maybe it went in one of the other projects in the book..then when I was putting F together, there it was so I had to take a break and stitch it...Thanks for showing us your progress.

Great to see your progress, looking lovely!
Not sure what to suggest to replace the appliqued hearts with, another applique or replace the big block with some smaller pieced blocks???? Be good to see what everyone else suggests.
Love your progress Chooky, it is such a great effect stitched in the one colour. I was also not sure about the hearts, they just don't seem to tie in with the rest of the quilt, watch this space!
I love your background fabric...matches your fabrics perfectly!
Yes, I see what you mean...it is quite large, maybe it could be broken down into smaller patchwork blocks??

Wow you are going great guns. Must get moving
Your block is yummylishcious!!! Yes, I know not a real word. Love the blue!!!!! I have just finished the stitching on my July block and just need to piece it.
Love the look of the stitcheries in blue work...looks great with your choice of fabrics.
Mmm, I'm not too sure about using heart applique either, I'll have to come up with something else to use there too...just don't think hearts will work with my reproduction fabric range and that shape doesn't work in my head with the garden theme.
I lost that little bag for block F so did another one that didn't have a place. The bluework stands out with the other colours of the fabric lovely idea.
oh how I love the blue stitching! I'm glad I didn't see this before I started, or I may have had to copy you ;) Great progress Chooky, it's looking awesome!
