My May Blocks Are Finished !!

My "Natures Journey" is coming to me by a block of the month kit  from Anni Downs store "Hatched and Patched" in Bathurst .... so you can understand my eagerness each month to greet the mail man .... and he hasn't disappointed this month .... here are my May blocks .... all done and dusted and with a couple of little changes of my own ....



I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's different fabrics and methods of stitching !



I'm using blanket stitch and appliqué because I simply like that method ... but I have needle turned the hexagons for this month ....    Lots of lovely finishes by everyone so far this month too!   



Keep up the good work ladies ...  Chooky might not even have to crack her whip this month if everyone makes a huge effort !!
