Working on March Blocks

Yes, I'm getting there - progress is happening on my March blocks - last night's effort here... ummm one of those circles looks a bit wonky? though it does look better in "real life" and ...the points on the star are not quite points but...they are all the same! 

am keeping fingers x'd that I will be up to date by the end of this Easter weekend!

Happy stitching

Alas.....

...my March blocks won't be finished on time :( ..... although I had every intention of getting them done as I am really enjoying this project it just isn't going to happen....
March became an extremely busy month at work with numerous deadlines having to be met  - one would think that coming home to sew would help but no.... I was too tense to even think about sewing.... weekends became busy as well mainly for family reasons - and so the month of March started to slip away..... on the positive side though, I did start as you can see.....

............ hopefully I should catch up again through April!

Am enjoying seeing what everyone else is up to - very inspiring!

Happy Stitching

March finish

An early finish!.. (for me)… there is still 2 days to go!

I doggy sat my grand dog this weekend…. she was very enthusiastic about my block photo shoot!
So cute… she kept adding sticks to the pile.
Bring on April!!… I'm really enjoying this journey.
