It's nearly May

I need to get my skates on and stop browsing the web. I need to finish my April cottage as my threads have arrived along with a few things that fell into the basket. I am using a lovely online shop for my supplies called .The Patchwork Rabbit don't you just love that name.

I am stitching slowly at the moment but I do have some finishes. I finished a Blackbird Design from A Stitcher's Journey after getting help from Alma at Blackbird designs with my colours. Thank you Alma for such prompt help

I have appliquéd a signature block for my local quilt group and added some Chinese symbols to a round robin quilt.

 Exchanges have gone off in the post and Pam received her bookmark I stitched.

Two more finishes well almost

 I have finished February and March in the CCN  Cottages of the month and started April. I count these as finishes even though they are all part of a series of 12 which will eventually be one nice large picture. The cottages are stitching up quickly though of course the frogs have been visiting and sometimes it is 20 stitches in 20 stitches out. A bit like the hokey dokey. You can also see that I stitch in hand and my fabric does get a little creased. Next time I will iron it .
