I'm taking the easy option and going with blanket stitch. Learning a new technique takes more time than what I have to spare at the moment, and I really really really love the texture of blanket stitch :)
Cutting out all the little patchwork squares was probably the most time-consuming part, but thankfully, they are all done now :)
A cute little strawberry teacup...I DO love my tea !
Some polka-dotty blue jeans...probably a couple of sizes too small for me, by the looks of them :)
A suitcase all ready to head off on a holiday...how nice would that be right now? I've stitched my "bloggy name" on my luggage tag, because most of you know me as Suzitee :)
I guess this means I have to put this project away for a little while now...which is probably not a bad thing, because I've had lots of trouble putting it aside to do other things.
In other news, my Gardeners Journal quilt has FINALLY arrived back from the quilters (it's been there since Christmas last year!!!) so hopefully I'll be able to share the finished quilt with you soon. I'll be so excited to finally cross that one of my to-do list!

HI Suzitee..your blocks look wonderful! I hope to start stitching mine this weekend, going to try needleturn...will see how it goes;) Suze.
Thay all look fantastic - and all joined too! Does this mean you have cut all your little squares - wow what a job - I think I will do mine in bits & pieces and maybe even do a few short strips and then cross cut them.
Beautiful work !!!

Beautiful blocks. Love the spotty 'rain' in the umbrella one.
They all look so neat...

Your blocks look wonderful! I am addicted to the blanket stitch method to but I guess you have to trace everything in reverse if you do it this way? Or not? Needle turn would definitely be a challenge!
Loving your blanket stitch and you have now convinced me to do mine with that too. I don't want to TRY learning a new technic either.... So when I get started I'll be joining you on the blanket stitch trail :)
