Better Picture and April's Project

I posted a very blurry picture of my pincushion last week, but thought I'd put up a better one since we've got some sun today.






I've also decided to use the stitcheries I started for the quilt from TTS some...years ago that have been languishing in the WIP/UFO pile for the April project-I just have a little bit to finish on the third one.

Hopefully, I get an earlier finish for this month's project, as well as moving something out of that pile!

Another great start - well done Leonie

Susie said...

well done, I like your pincushion. That reminds me - I am sure I have an extra too! somewhere......but I did find my TTS book the other day so there is a start

Leonie said...

Thanks Susan and Susie. I must confess, it took me a little while to track down my blocks. I've added sorting out my stitching room to my list ;)

Susan said...

Leonie - sometimes when I sort out things I put them in a safe place - then have trouble finding them!! LOL
