Well I had been working along on Stitch Along but just found that I was going through the motions and not really enjoying it, I had no idea why as hand stitching is one of my favourite things. I persevered for another month, but just the same thing, then I started looking longingly at another project, you know the one that calls out to you until you cave in and start it. I kept trying to ignore it "no stay with the stitch along you have always wanted to do one, don't drop out". But alas the call was too strong and I ventured over to the other side and began this other project and the joy returned with each stitch. Then the light switch moment, I was not happy with my background fabrics on other project and the needle turn and the reverse buttonhole stitch circle just did not sit right with me. So lesson learned, if your fabric, stitches or heart is trying to tell you something, listen you idiot.
Hence new background fabrics, stem stitch around circle and buttonhole applique and the world is a happier place now, even though I am starting all over again it will be worth it. So here is a picture of some catch up I have done so far.
Sorry Chooky hope this is okay, hopefully the blogging will also return.
Back in the Stitch again,

I'm so glad to hear that you are "up and at 'em" again - the blocks look lovely - gorgeous colours.
better that you re do some than you hate the whole thing at the end.
Hi Maxine, your blocks look great, well done on working it out! At the end of the day you have to be happy with it and enjoy doing it. I am doing buttonhole applique too, your colours and fabrics are lovely.
I choose the project......you choose to join in...........how you do it is up to you......blanket stitch, needleturn, machine applique it is up to you.......so long as you get it done I don't care how........the blocks look good...........so now your going to remake the first ones? hat are you going to do with the rejects?
hoping the blogging has returned too........
