apologies for not posting.

I am running way behind with this project and it is lovely to see so many finished tops etc, and the progress of everyone's stitching.  I was using a "handdyed" cotton, and even though I have only done 4 completed squares, one of the "hand dyed" cottons with a bit of moisture on, has bled into the fabric, so I feel it is best to start again.  I will get there, but have a few other "on the go committments" of stiching for others at the moment - so will get back to it soon, and will have to start again.
