One Day Late

I have finished June's only one day late and  it's my second post this month . Pretty good for me. 
Thanks Chooky for setting up the  SAL. It does make me stitch and I am amazed how much I am getting done. I am sure it would be still in the sewing cupboard if I was not doing the SAL.  
But you are right it is sometimes hard in the busy lives we all live and we do sometimes get behind.   Perhaps we all should realise how important  "me" time is.  I consider stitching as a little me time..especially when I am caught up.....  Good Luck with it every one ..happy stitching..

This is when I am glad I have already cut a heap  of 1 1/2 inch squares and saved  them in a cute little tin.

No cutting required.Yeah!!!

March is completed:-)

Good evening,

I have finished the blocks for March in March!

You may find the purple traces of my trick pen (needs 2-3 more days to evaporate).  Sorry for the not-so-perfect-photo, I took it now in the evening, because patience has never been my virtue to wait for tomorrow morning's nice daylight;-)

How are you doing? I am gardening as much as I can, I am so happy spring is here.

Have a nice evening, ladies, happy stitching!:-)

Hugs,

February Blocks....

Sorry Chooky for being tardy with this post. I have all the blocks appliqued and one block stitched. The stitched block has a bleed of color in the purple section of the thread. I am going to wait until I do the March blocks to embroider these as I am trying to get my thread to set. A couple of dips in boiling water should do the trick. So I hope you can mark me off for this month. What a learning curve for me. I moved away from my regular method of applique, which is blanket stitch to doing needle turn on this little quilt. Whew! All those little pieces were a bugger to get down until I found a rhythm as I went along. I do hope I improve much more over the course of this quilt. I also changed a few things as I went. I made a five petal daisy instead of the funny little flower. Then I decided I had had enough of those tiny circles and used an extra hexagon and heart for the circles. There will be changes in this months blocks as well. I think it is ok to make the changes as it reflects what I like best. All in all this has been a great learning curve this past month. I promise to be on time this month and have them all ready for inspection soon. I have made a start with cutting out all the shapes and preparing the blocks for stitching them down. Any advice on needle turn with these tiny pieces would be much appreciated.
