Promised Progress Report!

Hey all! My, haven't we all been busy little stitchers now that we've got the Christmas stitching out of the way! :0) It's been lots of fun to see the inundation of progress reports and lots of quilt tops coming together. I'd love to show you  my finished quilt top ... but it's not finished! Tee! Hee! Hee! However, Miss Chookyblue has been pushing to see what progress I've made and nudging me along, so I thought I'd share an update. At the moment, my tally stands at ...

... FIVE finished blocks and ...

... all of the remaining stitcheries are finished, except for one ... the Annual Garden Show on the bottom right there that is underway. See Chookyblue? I TOLD you I'd show you I'd really been stitching and not just slacking! :0) Lots of stitching has been going on during the holidays, I think I only had the dovecote and basket of flowers finished before Christmas, so I HAVE been busy ... really! :0) My decision to add a few little patches of satin stitch to most blocks is one I'm happy with, as I love the patches of colour that now jump out (especially those apples in the orchard block!!) but boy of boy, do they take some time to stitch! (especially those apples in the orchard block! Tee! Hee! Hee!) I'm not sure if I'll have my quilt finished by the March deadline, but I sure am a LOOOOOOOOONG way in front of where I would have been without joining the Stitch-A-Long! So, thanks to Chookyblue, Peg et al for the 'gentle' shove. :0)

But for now ... I'm off to catch a few ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's!! Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!
CHEERS!
