Nay from Nays Place - Reporting back for duty

The whip cracking has been heard,
I'm back on the ball after letting March and April speed on past
Whilst I cant keep up with Chooky's schedule
 I do plan on 1 block per night till I've caught up.

I have been AWOL due to coordinating our  towns Anzac Poppy display
Whilst we're not quite up to Lynn Berry 5000 Poppy display of over 250,000 in Federation Square we did managed over 2500.



I can report that all blocks for March, April and May have had the blanket stitching completed and as it's been so long since I've held a needle and not a crochet hook or knitting needle I thought I'd start with a pear - not the best but getting there

I do not rank as an 'whip cracker', but an encourager! LOL By the looks of your beautiful fabrics your quilt is going to look fantastic! Take one day at a time and one block at a time as you have suggested and before you know it you will be all caught up. Happy Stitching!
