An hour a day?

Apart from attending weekly embroidery class (and I missed one of those) I have not stitched at all for several weeks. A combination of illness and visiting family have taken their toll. Last class before the summer break is on Monday and I would really like to finish my canvas work piece.

My mother arrives on Tuesday for a week, my embroidery is not very portable at the moment, so what to do?
Meredith has issued a challenge starting on Sunday to stitch for an hour a day, I think I might be able to manage some applique I have my basket ready...


and a whole lot of Liberty Sampler blocks prepared ...


 I think I can do it!

  2. Liberty fabrics just rock! Lucky you to be in England and be able to buy them. All your blocks are so fun to look at. You have been so original. I think a person can applique during visits from their mother. It is kind of like knitting once you have everything blocked out.

  5. Liberty fabrics are beautiful! About 40 years ago my mother made her first and only patchwork project. A tablecloth with Liberty fabrics. It was georgous! I think that that is where my love for patchwork started!
