First Block in SKOW

After looking longingly at the book for some time now, I finally made a start the other night.  I completed the cup cakes block - well, the applique part.  Hope to get the stitching finished tonight and get started on one other.  So far behind!!

I really enjoyed doing it and can't wait to get started on some more!

Not the best photo.  I'll do another when I've completed the stitching.  Just needed to prove I've done something!!

Looking forward to holidays after Christmas - intend to take along this project and Dear Jane.  Should get lots of appliqueing done.

Cheers

Marg
