Not as far along as many but I am still in it for the long haul!

I have most of  my applique pieces for part 6 done. I had started out the month on a roll and then became handicapped ;)...my husband started his vacation so the last two weeks I have not seen the inside of my sewing room :(.  He goes back to work on Monday.  Seriously we had a very good family vacation but I really am a routine oriented person.

So much eye candy of beautiful centres! I certainly want to keep my name on the list because I am a determined albeit slow soul.

The setting up is the longest and slowest part - deciding on the colours and then placing the pieces. You will be finished in no time!!
