1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March.

Some More blocks done - nearly up to date

Finally getting up to date with Some Kind of Wonderful.  Here are the first three completed blocks:

I missed the steam - but have since fixed this.  Unfortunately the photo didn't work out!

Just saw a version of this with the spines embroidered - looked great.

Finally added the stitches.

I've almost completed the jeans block and I have the patterns organised for the suitcase block.  Hoping to get both done today.  It's not easy to use a sewing machine at the moment so I'll probably continue on with January's applique and leave the joining until later.  They are such fun blocks to do!!

Cheers
