Block C is finally finished

Here is my block C.  It took quite a lot of time stitching the house block but it is done and I am so happy with it. Here it is better late than never!



I have traced the stitcheries for the next block and and am off to enjoy some more stitching time! Thanks to everyone for all their support to keep us going on this journey!

Finishing the house block is quite an achievement and you are right to feel pleased it looks lovely and as each piece emerges the bosom swells. Cheers Margaret

It looks very pretty and that was the biggest one to finish. Gives a good feeling to have stitched that one. You have 14 days for the next one and that one is much easier.
