I HAVE DONE IT! YUP...WITH 35 AUSIE HOURS TO GO!

I am so happy with my SKoW!  I got it back yesterday from my 'quilting fairy' and bound it tonight...here it is hot off the press.  Sorry for my unsightly design board behind it.  My husband would no longer allow me to 'pin' my quilt to the dining room wall so he bought me this piece of insulation board.  It is raining cats an dogs right now so I couldn't hang it outside like the rest of you in sunny Australia have the pleasure of doing.  Yup we are into our snowy season now.
Chooky, a huge thank you for bearing with us.  I have thoroughly enjoyed stitching along although I was slack for a while there.  I am even thankful for your gentle whippings!  I am done now and I will miss working on this quilt...it was fun.  I will have withdrawals I am sure of it.  Thank you again Chooky.
For those of you who are still stitching to finish...good luck....do finish your quilt...it will bring such pleasure and a good sense of accomplishment!
Sincerely,
Holly
