Update from Mama Bear

I hadn't posted anything for a while so thought I would report in on my SKOW. I have begun the quilting by machine stitching around the borders. Life is getting in the way of that. First our club had its State Conference. Then, Honey Bear and I went on vacation. I did a little cross stitching while we were gone but didn't have the quilt to the place I could start the hand quilting yet so didn't take it with me.  I was home Friday but had to take my grandson to the Doctor. I'm looking for a day at home alone with nothing to do but quilt. Hopefully Tuesday as I have commitments today and Monday. I will finish it before the end of the year, Chooky, I promise. I feel bad because I met the deadline on the last two SAL projects but not this one. I hope you'll let me stay in, if you decide to do something else.I will post photos as soon as things have progressed some.

Mama Bear I'm sure dear Chooky wouldn't want you to feel bad....iife does happen...at the moment my GJ is at a standstill as I am heavily involved in a play at the moment and I need to start to piece a back together for it but just can't get to it...look forward to seeing your SKOW!

Please remember that quilting should be fun and not a chore. Life happens, you will get there- just one step, pause, at a time.
