Hi Thimblebug, and thank you for the info. $4 CDN for the two I've missed seems more than reasonable, bearing in mind I'm hoping to get the rest of it for free!!! I'll be sure to get them at some point soon.
I have progressed a bit with my two current blocks. I've done 98% of the applique on the hockey player (not done the cheeks yet - ran out of time!) and am really pleased with it. Not started appliqueing Mr Bow Tie yet. It's been a while since I appliqued so I had to spend more time than I anticipated reacquainting myself with how my machine and I work it - I've forgotten which stitch I used to use for applique (for reasons unknown my machine doesn't have a simple blanket stitch or similar) so I experimented with various different stitches, and think I've settled on one. Though I may change my mind as we go on...
