Season's Greetings

For those who celebrate Christmas I hope your day was everything you wanted it to be. Ours was full of family and good food (and not one, but three dogs).......

For now, the guests have all gone - bar one large dog - most of the washing is done, there isn't too much leftover food and the sun has come out.

All of this AND the flannel quilt is FINISHED!!! and ready to hand over.......

So what's next? So many plans.......

Fifth Column Update

Five columns and side borders quilted. Top and bottom borders and facing binding to go (and counting...)

And the quilting muse - clearly stressed - not.....

And when we got home from dinner last night my houseworking clothes appeared to be in her bed.....she had the grace to look guilty - at least slightly....

Hoping to show completed quilt very soon,

The Fifth Column

I believe this term has some kind of political / subversive meaning but to me it means progress......About to attach the fifth and final column to the flannel quilt, then it's borders and binding. It's beginning to feel closer to the finish line....

In other news Miss Maxie is visiting again - this time for a week. A perfect quilting companion......

Such a cutie - and so soft.

About Half Way

Just in case you thought I was sitting on my hands..... Technically it should be finished by today - but the room it is going into has to be cleaned up before I hand it over (and I don't care how old he is.....)

Today's Goal - Tick

Poor photo but you'll get the idea - achieved what I had hoped to today though. It feels good to be finally putting things together.

Saturday will be the next chance to sew - tomorrow = work = I think I'll order ABB....(ie 'another bloody book').
