I am very excited to report I have finished my Gardener's Journal Quilt!! Completely!!! My dear friend Jenny quilted it for me and I picked it up on Friday afternoon after work. I sewed the binding on yesterday afternoon and then handstitched the binding down while watching the ladies Australian Open tennis final last night. I hand stitched on the label this morning and there we have it!!
A close up of some of Jenny's fantastic quilting - the brief to her was "just do what you think" and I'm really happy with what she has done!
My quilt label all stitched on!
And although not a fantastic photo, I got my dear husband to hold it up outside in the sun in the hope that you could see some of the detail in the quilting! I love it - thanks Jenny for quilting, and thanks so much to Chooky and the gang for inspiring us all to get going on this lovely lovely quilt! Bring on "Tis the Season" Stitch A Long !!
