Another Slow Starter

This is just a quick post.  Thanks to Chooky and Susan encouraging me to post my progress.  Due to surgery recently, I have to take the summer off work which gives me the chance to sit in my garden stitching most days for the next four months.
I cut all my blocks out at the beginning of this project.  Now I am feeling a little better I am stitching away. I love reading all your inspiring posts.  I will post pictures on my next post.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Stitching is supposed to be about the enjoyment and not the pressure so just enjoy.

Hi Deborah, take care of yourself, and just enjoy stitching when you can . What could be more fun? Am guessing it will be warming up over there soon.... (I have a son in London at the moment).
Happy stitching!
