February's Blocks

My SKoW so far

December, January and February


and I can relax now until June,


the cat block is done, I just need to sew it onto the strip



The sewing block (May) I have the shoe block and the best friends done too

My husband says I have to much time on my hands lol, but I don't really I stitch everynight for
around 4 hours, uninterupted

Love it :)


          I haven't done the top or bottom borders, I am going to wait until the top is
together to get the right balance of beige-ness (is that a proper word??)

Kate said...

Thanks for all your lovely comments ladies

I sit down to stitch every night after the family has been fed, so roughly 7pm until I go to bed which is usually around 11pm or sometimes midnight :)
