Oops

I did sign up for FNWF but forgot to do my own post about it. It was a late start, and I only managed to appliqué two shapes on my Irish Circles, better than nothing I guess.

I also got some happy mail from The Stitchers Cupboard. I ordered my Floral Beauty backing Wednesday, and it arrived Friday. Very happy with the service. I love the smokey purple, and the small print.

It's a long weekend here, I'm hoping to sneak away and sew.
Happy stitching,
Susan x
