My Gardeners Journal

It has been a long while since I posted here so spurred on by Chooky to finish my quilt to at least top completed status, here are a few photos of what I am up to. I have completed another block and have a second almost finished.  Then only two more blocks to go although having said that I have a bit of embroidery to complete first.  So below are my photos taken yesterday.  I had forgotten how much I love the colours in this quilt and despite all those small squares I am enjoying seeing it come together so thanks Chooky for the push.


There it is so far with spaces for the last three blocks. Will be back soon with more. Bye for now
Hugs Noela.
