    Maggie, your block looks great, you really were fast. I have everything cut out, the berries ready to put on the block, still have to do the flower center, they are cut out but I got tired of making the circles. I have the star done, and working on the stems now I am doing needle turn applique.

      I will admit that I was tired of doing circles also. For the flower centers, I had a round satin stitch on my new Janome11000SE that I used that was perfect. I would think French Knots in the center rather than the circles would be a good choice, also.

              Ritzy, you have inspired me to finally start my BOM. I have chosen black and bold bright colors. I now am currently needle turning the stars. I am on the 3rd point but it will take me a long time. Did I say that I am working on the January BOM? Judy in AZ slow but steady

                              Oh, oh. Now showing my lack of ethnic exposure what are "pierogies?" I could look it up on Google, but would rather have a personal picture! ha

                                Well, I have all of my October pieces ready to glue on to my background and begin machine applique so hopefully before I leave town on Saturday, I'll have it finished! Work sometimes gets in the way. ha
