Yeah yeah I know you're all hassling me too..............well some more then others.................you know who you are..........it's a good thing...............
Colours were a big decision...............do I choose one or many..........I pulled out one of each of my colour piles of fabric and matched some threads........
So I am using 7 colours I think..............
I have a pile of blocks I am stitching at the moment................should be enough for Feb and Mar and maybe a extra one or two...........
I had been stalled on the blanket stitch...............the first 2 blocks were challenging to say the least but after that I got into a rhythm and I am loving it...............
I had tried a hoop after failing to start with but that was even more difficult........
how big are your stitches????..........mine go out about 1/4in out and are about the same length on the line.............loving the look of it..........
And I have one baby block finished but the rest will be done by easter................
well that's the big plan..........
&&&&&
HUGE thanks to all the girls who have made an effort..........
we all need a push at times and that's why you joined up to the SAL......
and I know that is the only way I will get this quilt finished too........answering to you girls........

Love the bright cheerful colors. Happy Stitching!
Easter!! You do know it's on Friday don't you? Of course you do and I've no doubt that you can make that deadline. Your NJ is looking good. Love your colour choices. As for blanket stitch... do you loose your rhythm after every session?
Time to go for it girl.... may the force be with you.....xxx
They are looking great chooky,well done xx
love it with all the colours... I have battled with a rhythm with the blanket stitch ... I keep forgetting which way suits me... going clockwise or anticlockwise!

I'm using red for the surrounds but matching the colours to the fabrics (blanket stitching not needleturn). Hugs...
