And you can sing to 'you are my sunshine....'

I would go with singing 'Bring me sunshine....'

And for those of you across the pond who might not have heard this song ........

Well I was a bit late with May but its been extended to the middle of September so I was able to add my cushion.
Here it is, I'm really proud of what I managed even though it is very far from perfect. It really helped seeing Cindy explain her method of using the stencils on TQS

Nancy's cushion is beautiful. It's a beautiful flower.

I'm pretty sure I won't be doing the swirls hers are so perfect if only...................................

I won a prize of Udderly smooth products in April but it was only shipped to people in US or Canada. Never mind.

Your pillow is incredible, Wendy! It's so beautiful and intricate!

I won the Udderly Smooth prize , I think in March, but I haven't received it yet. I let her know that it hadn't come, so hopefully I'll be getting mine sometime. But who knows.

I'm excited to do this month's because I love Diane. If you want to do the swirls, they really don't have to be perfect if you're using matching thread. They'll just provide incredibly cool texture. I have several ideas swirling around in my head, but probably won't get to this one until the end of the month.

Thank you Barb and Nancy. I think I'm going to buy myself some Udderly as a consolation :lol: Hope yours arrives soon so you can enjoy it.

I guess practicing fmq including swirls is what it's all about so I'll read through the challenge properly first. Like you Nancy I've got a lot to do sewing and otherwise so I expect I'll be last minute as usual as well.

Nancy and Wendy - You'll both do well with the next challenge! (Don't we all produce our best work under pressure)?
