Easter stitching

I kept myself occupied over Easter by working on my Stitch-a-long
these are my first two blocks
as i didn't receive my book till about a week before easter


They smell a little smoky from being around the camp fire
but what a special memory that is

My girls like the block with the blue border the best

can't wait to see it all together

hope you are all enjoying your stitching
