A Gardeners Journal Progress

Hi there fellow Stitch-A-Longers!   

I believe I'm running about a year behind schedule on this one, but here is my final block of A Gardener's Journal.......



And here it is with all my blocks joined ..... now for some borders and then the quilting!!


By then I might be able to start thinking about My Favourite Things, but I'll be practising some more needleturn applique before then!  Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration in 2011, it was fantastic to finish my Tis the Season quilt (and on time even. lol) and to get this far on AGJ before the end of the year!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas ......... see you back here in 2012!
