December Blocks

Three blocks finished and two to go.  Promise to be up-to-date soon.  Don't want that whip cracking at me. This is such a fun quilt to stitch.  I have opted for hand blanket stitch as needle turn is new to me and I love the look of hand blanket stitch.  Sorry the date is wrong on my camera.  It should be January 1, 2012 obviously.

Cup of Tea - ooh the needle is still in the block.


Off to more stitching.  Happy New Year to everyone.
