BOF - BOM and more

 I finally finished my Birds of a Feather, stitched with 1  thread over 2 on 35 count WDW Confederate Grey.

I don't know what will be next, but I have ordered Margaret Cottam........

General Wives BOM 3 arrived, I have to make 12 of these.  A complicated block was included, but am still thinking about that one and show you next time!  I am a bit slow in that department.

That is all for now, thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last post! Made  me have a dance through the house  (my keep fit regime)!

Until later ;)
