It's still March 31 here in Canada! Yippee!

Phew...I did it!  With a few hours to spare.  I will post my pictures as soon as I get home from school this afternoon. This month has brought many challenges to our family so I had little time to stitch, but I did it and I am so proud of myself. 
As I was reading all of the posts I got worried about all the points on the stars but I really didn't have a problem with them...it was the flower!  Those darn tight curves almost did me in! LOL  I think it's all in the clipping?!  I'm using Lynette Anderson's applique paper and her tools...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!  They are my new best friend!  They made it a little easier and I know practice will make them perfect too.
Well Happy Stitching everyone!  And here's to April....nicer weather, and renewed health for all of us! Happy Easter too!
