Gardener's Journal top together

Hello there, I am long overdue to show you my finished A Gardener's Journal top.  The borders went on way back in January and now I have it booked in for quilting,  I just need to get it on it's way.


I had a wee reminder of the butt-kicking, whip-cracking kind a few days ago that I need to get a wriggle on and get it done!  That same butt-kicking, whip-cracking girl also asked me to mention that today there are ONLY 41 SLEEPS TO GO.  I don't think mine will be back from quilting, but all you clever girls who are working on My Favourite Things will have it all under control by then...... won't you?

Good Luck............. Nicky x

Top together......

Well here is my quilt top with borders can't wait to get this finsihed now, I'm off to buy the wadding and backing tomorrow, hopefully I will be able to layer and pin soon..... then quilt but like you girls I'm not sure what I want to do yet.... ahhhh well I'll have to put on the thinking cap, I'm not really a quilter so it will probably be something simple. 


Come on Chooky show us some progress...... lol......

Thanks for the inspiration!

Recently, following the Girls day in the Country, Chooky, Peg & Dale floated the idea of a Gardeners Journal stitchalong. I immediately felt a twinge of shame...I had started this quilt several years ago & it remained unfinished. Blocks all sewn together...borders on...but I thought about 4 stitcheries were not done. Dear Chooky said ..."join in & get it finished"...but when I looked there were only 2 blocks not stitched.Oh where had the inspiration deserted me...what made the dovecote & resting gardener prove so difficult to finish??????
Probably nothing...just life got in the way!I love redwork, so that was my theme...fabrics purchased on a trip to Berrima.
So, with the encouraging (read bullying) support of DD (my personal drill sergeant)...it is finished...done...complete...ready to quilt!
Thankyou ladies for helping me across the line...your support & encouragement have made this possible!
I am enjoying following you all...so enjoy the journey everyone...it is one very sweet quilt!
