April Blocks

Here are my April blocks. Had most of them finished last week, just the epp star to do. Finally finished that off last night so thought I had better get a move on and post a photo today.


I stitched the stems on the flower and cherry blocks in satin stitch. This is my first epp star so am quite pleased with how it turned out.

There are lots of lovely blocks being made out of a variety of fabrics. I can't wait to see them when we finally get to put all our blocks together.

Thank you to Chooky and Susan for keeping us on track.

Till next month..... Happy Stitching...........
