Recently, following the Girls day in the Country, Chooky, Peg & Dale floated the idea of a Gardeners Journal stitchalong. I immediately felt a twinge of shame...I had started this quilt several years ago & it remained unfinished. Blocks all sewn together...borders on...but I thought about 4 stitcheries were not done. Dear Chooky said ..."join in & get it finished"...but when I looked there were only 2 blocks not stitched.Oh where had the inspiration deserted me...what made the dovecote & resting gardener prove so difficult to finish??????
Probably nothing...just life got in the way!I love redwork, so that was my theme...fabrics purchased on a trip to Berrima.

I am enjoying following you all...so enjoy the journey everyone...it is one very sweet quilt!
