Stitching time is scarce...but I'm making great strides with overgrowth in garden... Sending DH off this am with a pickup load for our clean green program... Goldwork is still resting and I should finish CQJP this weekend... all detail stuff so brain is thinking ahead... One of the next blocks I'll be getting is Barbara's with her aunt's vintage postcards as images... I'm fourth in the rotation so there were only three choices left...
I'm going to go with the shoe with the holly in it....for two reasons... First I like the simplicity of the image and second I just love what is happening with the patches... there's a lovely rhythm to it. Janet still has them but I know she will be sending them soon...
Also I need to think ahead on my Morris book for CQJP and print off enough images to fill a sheet of transfer fabric. I hate wasting even an inch of that expensive stuff... In looking through photos for the next 2/3 months I ran across this fantastic photo for the last cover of the book..
If you look closely you will see they are watching wild turkeys gobble up the sunflower seeds.. May's block will be Morris and friends (skunk, porcupine and raccoon) and June will be Morris and Molly...and it will really be hard narrowing down choices for that block as I have so many great loving photos...

Hi Gerry, I will have the next blocks to you in the mail early in the week! The block you want was a close second to the one I finally chose.
