Good thoughts and prayers going out to all who need them.
Mousie - sympathies about the doctors visit - been having a few of them myself lately.
I am generally leaning towards the green/mauve/pink range but am trying to be a little more adventurous with my colours and throw in a mix of everything. Who knows what will happen. I had decided to use all batiks but in this first block I have only used one so obviously I can't make a decision and stick to it.
I have nearly finished sewing my applique pieces down and then need to do the embroidery on this block. I only get a couple of hours of an evening to sew and am a slow worker anyway, so I won't be breaking any speed records. But that is fine - I find it relaxing doing hand sewing.
