Gardener's Journal top together

Hello there, I am long overdue to show you my finished A Gardener's Journal top.  The borders went on way back in January and now I have it booked in for quilting,  I just need to get it on it's way.


I had a wee reminder of the butt-kicking, whip-cracking kind a few days ago that I need to get a wriggle on and get it done!  That same butt-kicking, whip-cracking girl also asked me to mention that today there are ONLY 41 SLEEPS TO GO.  I don't think mine will be back from quilting, but all you clever girls who are working on My Favourite Things will have it all under control by then...... won't you?

Good Luck............. Nicky x
