hey.......

How is everyone going................
I have not had a chance to start yet...........an urgent family trip away, a trip with Mr Chooky to do some work for a mate.......and just life and work in general means I have not even had time to get started on February's blocks.........I should be working on that instead I am designing and planning a kitchen which I have to install within the next month........looking at the calendar i'm not sure where that is even going to be fitted in............oh well nothing like a challenge...........
so I thought I needed to pop in and see what you girls are up too..............not too many finished the month yet..........and don't panic we still have plenty of time even if Feb is the shortest month of the year.............
Happy Stitching
Chookyblue...........

I've ben playing with other projects and the sewing machine so far in February - but with a sick boy I've ended up making a small start stitching the edges on the blocks (easier to put down when one's needed). (He's currently sleeping in the master bedroom - aka the stash-room - so it's a use what's available right now..)

Hi Chooky. Life does have a way of interrupting us.
I am finished with all of the stitching and applique with the exception of the flower. I'm going to re cut it out of another fabric as this one is fraying and I haven't even begun to sew. I used the same for two of the hearts and I almost used a bad word. These are so small and my fingers tend to cramp up but feeling good about the ones I've finished.

Sounds like you've had a busy time Chookyblue! Am making good progress. Keep stitching girls!

I actually like the fact you are not up-to-date Chooky. I'm sure it will all happen soon (along with everything else). I only have to trim and photograph and I'm done - hopefully by the end of the weekend.
