Best of intentions

Oops, I had put pressure on myself, felt the whippings, and rushed out of the gates this month looking for a double J. 

But alas with a huge market month, that's including the Ag Expo in Nyngan this coming weekend my sewing hours have been consumed with stock - so I'm prepped but not completed 

Just check out some of this, my fingers are cramping I tell you.

I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one whose fingers cramp when stitching....mine have been doing it overtime with all this applique.
Good luck.
