Working On It, But Not Finished Yet

I got an email from Chooky encouraging me to share my progress even if I wasn't finished with the blocks.

I have been so crazy busy that I had fallen way behind, but now am determined to catch up.

I have 9 blocks stitched and six with borders.    I am going to work furiously to get all of the blocks stitched and bordered before the end of the year.  






Getting them together and quilted will probably have to wait until the new year.     Too many Christmas presents to make and activities to attend.   But my creative journey is not a race.  I hope everyone has enjoyed working on these blocks as much as I have.

You say Chooky "encouraged" you - sure it wasnt the threat of the whip?? Love the red & greeen - really you can't go past red & greeen for a traditional Christmas, though I do like blue & silver and even pink & greeen and . . oh I just like all sorts of colours!!

We all understand how life gets in the way and sometimes one project has to be put on the back burner for another one which needs finishing sooner...as long as you keep working toward the finish, that's what's important...but we're all happy to see progress as it happens.
