I'm Still Here!
Despite my good start and my excellent intentions, I'm now way behind. Between parents with medical issues, teenagers with medical issues and some with just bad attitude, the height of the swimming season and co-ordination costumes for a cast of 12 for a comedy based in England during World War 1. (The costumes are just amazing - beautiful ladies' gowns.). Anyway, the month of Fevruary disappeared and we are well into March.
Thank goodness I opted for the BOM option from Anni - hate to think where I'd be without all that help.
Here is my progress so far:

Here is my progress so far:
My outlines are done. My appliqué pieces cut. I now have an hour to get some more sewn into,place. Hoping for some more progress as the day goes on. And I'm not looking at all the other bits and pieces that need my attention. Today is Nature's Journey Day.
March BOM has arrived in the mail. Gorgeous blocks once more. Looking forward to catching up,by the end of March. Loving seeing everyone else's posts.

Please Give me a J F
Ok I may be slow on blog posting, but I've been using this photo as my prompting with my stitching and it's keeping me motivated.

My Feb Finished!
Have really enjoyed stitching these. As you can see, I opted for blanket stitch applique (its my favourite!). Although I bought most of my fabrics its lovely to be able to incorporate some old favourites from the scrap pile into the small appliques.
Great to see everyones versions! Will have a break from this one for the next week or so now. Keep up the good work stitchers!

February Blocks Finish
Missed a whipping by 'that much' ... lucky I finished these and got them pressed and trimmed up last night.
There's room for improvement with my needle turn but I'm enjoying it. Thanks Chooky :o)
