Always late!

I join the stitch-a-long last year but have never posted. Please forgive me. I am making very slow progress with my blocks. I will finish the quilt this year, although not sure which month it will be. Last October, I travelled to New Zealand from my home in England for an extended holiday with my husband. I did think about taking blocks with me but then I thought I would need the space for all the goodies I would buy in the wonderful quilting shops on the South Island. On return to England we were met with snow. We rarely experience such weather in part our of the country. So I went into hibernation. I will upload some pictures of my blocks on my next posting, which I hope will be soon.

I will also be starting this year stitch-a-long. Just need to purchase the book. Thanks to Chookyblue for visiting my blog and e-mailing to give me a poke.
