Almost caught up!

I'm getting a bit excited...it's only the 12th of October, and I've just put the last stitches in October's Block B! Woohoooooooo!


This leaves the rest of the month for me to stitch Block A, and for the very first time...be all caught up! Again...wooohoooooo!

I love this little push mower...my Dad used to have one of these :) Then there's the other block...

...I changed the hearts to butterflies :) The appliqued hearts felt a little...out of place? I traced the butterflies onto the vliesofix using an old scrapbooking template.
Here's the whole of Block B...



I'm loving seeing all of your quilts grow...there are some truly beautiful quilts coming together. Keep up the great work ladies...not long to go now :)
