Progress for July

Sorry I am late Chooky and Susan but here is my progress for July. Have finally got all my applique pieces on and am finally happy with how it looks. Now all I have to do is stitch them on but this week my son is to have an operation which takes precedent so may take me a little while to get to the finish line but I will get there eventually.

I made the vase slightly larger so I could fit the whole bird on.
It's lovely to see all the different fabrics being used by everyone. I can see a few people are using French General like me. Be back soon.  Happy Stitching........

It looks lovely Noela - love how you did the vase. I know you will get back to it when you can - and besides you know I can whirl the whip over your head!!!
All the best for your son - hopefully this time it will get right.
