October finish

A quick share before I turn into a pumpkin!!
I have finished October's block —
Gosh it's hard to believe we are over half way through this now (well, if we've kept up, that is!). I've done a bit more joining lately so once I've taken some more photos I can share those too - I'm so excited with how it's coming along!
Hope you're all enjoying this as much as I am ♥
Happy stitches,
Raewyn.

Susan: First Row

Hello, Everyone! I've missed you all the last week. My computer died and it took a week's mail to get another one. It's used and I almost thought I was going to have to send it back, but when I downloaded the latest iOS, it's been working fine. So, here's a pic! I finished the October block last week and couldn't upload to IG after they updated on Wednesday, so I hope they update again soon and fix that! I sewed the top row all together and I just love it!
 
I have beads to add, but will probably put those in after quilting.

Been on Retreat

Nothing like a few days away on retreat to catch up on a stitch a long. 
I still have to do some embroidery on a couple of the blocks. 

This is a beautiful quilt to work on.

Susan- Dezertsuz: On the Last Day of September ...

I finished my Holly Cottage Christmas block!
 

  Here it is with the other blocks - can you see my mistake, other than doing everything backwards on each block? If not, I'm not telling you!
