Finished - Susan Oh 2 Sew

I had this finished by the end of February, but wanted to keep quiet until after GDITC in Nundle...so here it is all done.
sorry the photo is a bit lop sided ...I'll replace it one day,,,

I had Anni sign the label too.

Thanks everyone who participated in the SAL - and a huge congratulations to the "Champions" and well done to the "Toppers"!
Without the SAL I wouldn't have got it finished.

I'm sure know there are another few tops & quilts ready to be posted...just waiting to update the side bar - so please post!!!

Hi  Everyone

So sorry I am missing from here.
I am behind in comments and so sorry about that. You have been doing some amazing work...........well done.....so many amazing quilts happening.............

Sadly I was hoping my NJ would be finished by this weekend but it is still in a million pieces. So lost I don't know where to start. I as so sad about that but I did some work on it yesterday............reinspired a little and actually had some time.

I will try and catch up some posts in the next few days.

A massive thanks to Susan who has done HEAPS to keep this SAL going when I wasn't able to............

That Great Feeling!

Yes!! My Nature's Journey is finished :) ... What a great feeling of accomplishment :) .... I really enjoyed making this quilt.... I learnt to do needle turn applique, learnt to be patient and not hurry things and  met so many fellow patchworkers while on this "journey"! 

Yes,,, I know my label says 2015 and after some deliberation over the issue decided on 2015 as the top was finished last year (October) but it took me a while to decide on hand quilting it or getting it quilted - having made the decision to get it quilted decided not to add it to the quilter's pile of quilts required by Xmas..... then came the binding job just as the very warm weather arrived and well.... it's very hard to get motivated with a quilt draped over your lap! 

A big thank you to Chooky and Susan for organising our Stitch-A-Long :) :) 

Will be popping by to see progress on all those other beautiful quilts..... and look forward to meeting up again.....(perhaps on another Stitch-A-Long?)

Happy Stitching

Border question please!!!!!

After the "diamond applique" border instructions say trim to  27.5 x 33.5.  Then  - Part 8 says side border measurement  is 30.5"????? (Is this a typo)

I have only  just looked at this hurridly  now and will need to double check ,but  thought i would do a quick post now  before I trim back border 7.

Thanks heaps in advance, will re measure tonight  but thought I would do a quick check first

Edited by Susan
The measurement should be 30.5"

Progress...ish!...

Catching up on reading posts yesterdaySaturday Chooky's in which she asked the question "Anyone else working on the SAL at the moment?"...impetus to get the camera out and show where mine is at...

On the design wall...with a bits from the scrap basket that are auditioning or have been cast but still learning their roles...it will get there...one day!...not abandoned just going at its own [slow] pace...

Great tops  being shown Ladies...well done...loving them all...

Happy Stitching...
