Not quite finished....

I do have to apologize to Chooky and all the other group members as I am not going to get my quilt finished just at the moment.  After another wee health scare and another procedure I have just not had the will to stitch a lot, but what I have stitched mostly on is my SKoW quilt.  Sadly I am not going to have it finished by Christmas, but never mind. I am having some time off after Christmas and will finish it off then. This is really my first quilt, and I do need some help with it. I have a stitchy buddy, Clare who does amazing work and has helped me with a few things now. She is going to help me put it together, and then, another first, it will get quilted some how, probably a bit of machine and a bit of hand if I can. All new to me.



I could not get photos done as my 'helper' just had to be in the shots. It took me ages lol and he is such a poser! I have actually done most of the blocks to this quilt now, just two more to finish off.  Best Friends and the Sewing block.  I do have a lot of my strips and squares all cut out too.  It will be an exciting day when it is all done.

I just love the progress of the quilts to date and they are just so beautiful.  Well done to you all.
