Lagging behind, but determined to catch up...

Hi Ladies,

I am lagging behind but just about finished my April blocks and onto my May blocks hopefully this weekend.  I do a few quilt/craft shows selling my handmade items and I have been caught uip with stitching and preparing for these.

I have a few weeks breathing space now so I am going to enjoy it making my Natures Journey quilt.  Just received Block 6 in the mail today, so that is egging me on.  

Feel like I letting you down... but doing my best to get on top of things...
