Some naked blocks

Pictured below are blocks constructed in early November 2013in the hope I would have some stitching time whilst on a cruise around the North and South Islands of New Zealand. No prize for guessing that I didn't pack my sewing kit!

. Yesterday (January 6) I started stitching chain : Using one of Sharon B's plastic templates, I started with a simple chain stitch. However because it's still so hot here in south east Queensland my hands were far too sticky for hand work, so I didn't even complete the three inch seam. After big storms last night I'm hoping that we have cooler weather for a while and that more stitching will happen. By the way: over on KenmaursCorner is a few comments I blogged there in early December
