Natures Journey - February blocks

Whoot....whooot!  I'm finished my blocks for this month and I even figured out how to get my pic onto this blog and my own blog...what a challenge...if you don't use it....you loose it!  Shame on me!  I have not blogged in over a year and I was loosing it! LOL

So here we have it...my first attempt at this kind of appliqué.  I am so pleased with the outcome and I'm cracking to get going on March's blocks.  Hopefully I will have my Lynette Anderson aplisticks by then but if not my chop sticks will suffice!


I've used Primitive Snowman for the backgrounds with a few a couple of other fabrics from my stash and I'm using a few different French General collections.  I love collecting FG!
Happy Stitching Ladies!  From what I see so far, we are all off to a good start and have avoided Chooky's and Susan's whip!  Yippee!

oh my...i should have pressed them a little better before I took the picture. Oops! Next time. I will blame our cold weather......-33! In a deep freeze here in Ontario, Canada! Cant wait to come to Australia but guess what...that won't be until July...your winter, but hardly -33. Cant wait to come!

You're coming here! To where??? How exciting...you'll probably laugh at what we think is cold :) Oh your blocks, got carried away there with your travel plans...they are lovely, especially like the splash of yellow in the basket and star flower...
