Keeping you Updated!

Well, I have fallen behind...but not too far.....
Under the watchful eye of Miss Dora......
..... I cut out the rest of the 2" squares on Friday night (FNWF night) ..... all the "blue" ones had been cut out earlier)..... here they are all stacked up.....
...so there is no excuse now not to start stitching them all together..... .. I could say the end is in sight! 

Congratulations to those that have finished their tops - or have even quilted them! I've so enjoyed seeing your lovely work!! ..... Very inspiring!

Happy Stitching

Its a finish!!

Some amazing quilts out there!
Its been great to see everyones progress and without the deadlines of the SAL I'm sure my quilt would have ended up a UFO.

Well ..it still needs to be quilted… but here it is…the fairy floss version of Natures Journey..




Bring on the next SAL please Chooky and Susan…and thanks heaps for organising us all to make some fabulous quilts..thanks also to Annie for designing such a fun project.
Happy stitching everyone.
