It's strange to think of you in Australia in the middle of winter while we here in New Jersey, US are having what seems like the hottest summer ever.

I'm pleased to tell you that I finished my Tis the Season top-at last! I also made one of the projects, a cushion. I'm so pleased with how they came out and am determined to get the top made into a quilt this summer. I've attached pictures for you to see.

Well done Diann and I hope we see the finished quilt very soon.................and I hope it cools down a little so you can enjoy summer..............Chookyblue

It's A Top...

After living with the sewn blocks pinned up on the wall for a couple of weeks, waiting for what to do about borders to come to me, my TTS is now a top...

I added a 1/2" inner border to bring the gold into the borders, break up the busyness of the two fabrics and eliminate the prospect of blo blending into the Next decision will be what colour thread to use for quilting...will have to live with the top for a while until it makes a decision on what it should be...

Borders Done

Got the borders on Yay!

PS. Gardener's Journal Blocks still haven't been joined together, that's next on my todo list!

Put together...

My blocks are together now and waiting for the borders. I have decided what to do for the borders and now I just have to see if I have enough fabric left! The new fabric I have introduced as the sashing looks black in this photo, but it is actually navy blue in real life. I'm hoping to quilt it next week!
