My April blocks

Well, I failed. I didn't honestly think I'd be able to finish them at all - but seeing as I am only missing two blocks, I'm still pretty pleased. I mean, I managed these without growing a third arm and with a (now) eight weeks old baby who is completely mommy-holic (rarely pleased if not located on or near me). So, I guess I won't receive an A next to my name yet, but hopefully soon. 


My favorite block this month? The dragonfly!

Here's to finishing the April blocks soon - and to a fresh try on May!

Happy stitching from
Tonje and Aurora.
