Just Missed!

Well the end of the month is here and I have yet 2 blocks to finish....... a committee meeting at our local theatre and 2 unexpected dinners out after work with friends this week have put an end to my plans of completing all blocks by 30th - though it was close...... will get them finished over the next couple of days..... meanwhile here's where I'm up to....

..... and I did change the 2 small blocks with flying bees(?) to a ladybird and another flying bee - I really didn't like the original design - though I did actually do them but.... well... there was just something about them......they looked like little planes.....
Be back over the weekend with all completed....

Happy Stitching

You are so close Asta - I'm in agreement about the bees...not me ...and the butterfy for next month- I think I might be re designing the wings a bit. Your blocks do look great...

Love your alternate insects Asta. Looks like we are both just out of reach of the finish line for April. Lovely work... shame to rush and spoil it xxx
