Sofia, a Borboleta Serrana

It's never too late!

Hey Chooky! look Here!! I've finally finished the GJ top!! I just need to buy some batting and finish it once and for all, I'm on the home stretch, it's only 2 years late! Thank-you for the whip cracking encouragement, it truly does help.

Jytte's Gardener's Journal + Tis the Season

My friend Jytte in Denmark joined the GJ SAL when we started it.........Jytte doesn't have her own blog but she joined in and blogged to the SAL blog as part of the group..............

When I finished up the GJ SAL and moved onto the TTS SAL Jytte said she would not continue as she didn't want to sew a Christmas project. But she promised to send me pics of her GJ once she finished it..............

TAAAAADAAAAA..............gorgeous isn't it...............well done Jytte and thanks heaps for being part of the GJ SAL............all hand quilted.............

but wait there's more..............now remember I just said she she wasn't doing the TTS SAL................

BUT

she saw the book in a patchwork shop in Denmark and HAD to buy it and start the quilt............

she just needs to add the borders...............

it looks great Jytte............

This is what Jytte said she is working on now

"My next quilting project is 'My Garden' from Lynette Anderson' and I have bought the 'Christmas Fun' BOM also, so there will be more Christmas.

I am completely crazy with hexagon flowers and for the time being I sew the quilt from Vignette with stitchery on 59 blocks."

Well all I can say is well done Jytte and thanks so much for keeping your promise and sharing pics of your finished A Gardener's Journal.

Chookyblue................

GJ Scraps

... used up.

Small tablecloth.

Potholder.

And there's nothing left.

Nothing like a bit of whipcracking to get me motivated!

Chookyblue is the finest whipcracker I know, with only four blocks left to stitch and two blocks to make Chooky set me the task of dedicating 15 minutes a day to stitching my GJ and I had to show her my progress by Friday, so here it is Chooky!

Birds in the Tree Done

Lawnmower Done

Smell the Roses Started and

these happy ladies traced and ready to go.

So next Friday Chooky I'll report on next weeks progress, who knows, maybe I'll have the top completed by then.

Happy Stitching Everyone!

Almost there...

with doing my GJ blocks...

I have been determined to get it done, 

I am pleased so far...my biggest problem now is

 deciding the fabrics and sticking to it...

 I so love the quilts I have seen so far on here

 and it has spurred me on the get mine finished...

 I changed my first block's fabrics' and now am

 not to sure if I like what I have chosen next...

decision decisions, better decide quickly.

 

 

 Here are my blocks ready for the 'Tis the Season'

 I used mainly Riley Blake fabrics, nice and bright...

 

 

 and now I have traced the first block.....

 but I better finish another GJ block first then do this one...

 Happy Stitching
