Finally some SKoW movement!!!

I have wanted to get back on to this project for a while, but unfortunately the last few months have seen me rather unwell, injured (with a hyperextension injury in my wrist - not fun!! ... I do not recommend getting one of these!!), and then unwell again and I just haven't been able to get onto any of my sewing commitments/plans.

Now Chooky has cracked the whip ... I am well ... and I am taking some time off from my studies ... there is some movement!  The 'old blue jeans block' ...

Jeans block prepared for needle turn appliqué...
Square of fabric at top left is ready for *was 'cupcakes* block.

I have gotten one leg sewn so far, and am hoping to finish this block tonight ... Pellon, cut to size, is sitting ready for fusion.

My current set-up for sewing ... like my tin of 'Superior Threads'?

Then I *really* need to get on to finishing this mini before I can do too much more of the stitching for SKoW...

Needs needle turn & stitchery to be done, sandwiched, quilted & bound :)  ASAP!! 

I previously had the umbrella, cup of tea & suitcase blocks finished.

My previously completed blocks

I also finished the cupcakes block, but I am not in the least happy with it; plus I have decided that really, cupcakes aren't one of my favourite things ... and, inspired by all the adaptions by the other ladies, I have decided to replace this with 'pavlova' - my absolute favourite desert!!  I'm hoping to at least have the image for this block drawn up and fabrics selected by the end of the weekend, along with a February (chocolates block is ready, just needs to be sewn/stitched) & March's blocks at least prepared for next week ...

This next month & a half is gonna go quick! ... Better get back to it!!

Stop wishing March away you guys!

This photo (poorly taken photo even!) is to prove that I can stitch! I just haven't yet! All the March finishes I am seeing here are making me worry a little. Maybe I won't be able to do this stitch along! I actually started hyperventilating............

............. and then promptly stopped. It's the 6th of March and I have tonnes of time left! Phew! You overachievers are muddying the waters. I still have 25 days left. I'm good. Just pacing myself. Hopefully some others pacing themselves will leave reassuring comments here for me. Please?


PS (I'm not really upset with you guys who are posting finishes. I am loving them all. Keep up the good work! Slackers like me need LOTS of encouragement!)
