I have to say that for a while I thought it would be a problem... what with various health issues in the family including my neck which so rudely gave me a headache whenever I spent time on the machine (or the computer) lol I had to go about a month with almost no sewing! Ah hand sewing I hear you say, yes well I am a pedantic pain and I did several more applique blocks on my 'bunnies on the go' design using Darcy Ashtons patterns, however that made my neck heaps worse lol and the physio a little stroppy :) she couldn't understand why I couldn't just walk away from sewing altogether for a few weeks or so.

Here are the Geese on a ring! I used some of my most treasured local hand dye fabrics, as the colours are truly scrumptious... Unfortunately I checked her website to order more and she has retired :(( oh dear, so if any one knows a site of a home dyer that uses procion based dyes and a really tight weave cotton please let me know!
