Oh so close!

Progress!  Thank God for those slow cookers!  I was able to get dinner going before I left for work this morning then fly out of the office on time at the end of the day to come home and work on the stripping and patching for the last row.  Now just a bit of stripping to go on the end, the top and that ugly un-even bottom!  Gadzooks my Pop would say!  I was able to book my favorite long arm quilting friend for Thursday evening so I better put on another slow cooker meal tomorrow morning so I can get to my sewing maching asap tomorrow night!  I am sure I am not the only one scrambling right now so happy stitching to those still working away at getting their quilt finished on time!

What would we do without the external quilters?? Lucky she could get you in - and only one night - fantastic! Im sure you'll sort out the bottom soon enough
