Finally can I have an A please!!!!

Well they say slow and steady wins the race, well I am not going to win, but try as I might I will catch up!! I have spent some time stitching, let's just say not only the GJ seems I have got hooked on the Tis the Season book too, as well as my other BOM Life is Beautiful - yep totally over committed and I love it....and well " the Girls" by Brownyn Hayes is all hand stitched, just to find more time at the machine to finish putting the blocks together.

So here you can see my efforts in cutting all those pieces....mmm not sure how I will go at this random putting it together but liking my first block so far.

Proud to share my block A and finally get to ask,  CAN I PLEASE HAVE AN A ......feel like i am finally on the board!!!
