Well only hours left on the "Finish Five Challenge"...... still time to finish that last bind...sew on that final button.......tomorrow I will draw out 4 names.....I have four prizes to give away....two hand made by me and the other two will be made up of what Bonnie has so very kindly sent to me.......if you have finished one or nine....yes nine I have a couple of ladies who have done this...everyone goes in the draw....I have one more little request please...is it possible to do a post on your blog of all your completed projects....a new photo of them all or just another post showing all your photos in the one post....I would love for everyone to see again your completions, I have been keeping a spreadsheet of what I have picked up as finishes but I am sure I have missed a few....this would be the icing on top of the cake....this challenge has been just amazing....more tomorrow...

Now they are nice and neat...

I have this lovely old friend "Poppy Short" who does some wonderful woodwork, I was sick of my threads sitting in a box on the floor so I approached "Poppy Short" to see what he could make for me and this is what he came up with.....just brilliant...the holders are on an angle so the threads wont slip off.....so if any of our 'Club Quilt' ladies are looking for something like this let me know and I will give you his number.

I have received this award from two lovely lovely ladies....Lise....and....Marits.....I really am lost for words....it is so very kind of you both to give me an award for somthing that I find just so enjoyable.....blogging....

I know I should be picking out several blogs to pass this award onto ....but I just find it so terribly hard, it sounds like an easy way out I know, but really there are so many blogs out there who are so inspiring...so I would like to give this award to the 80 ladies who have signed up for my challenge..(all the links are on my sidebar) everyone of these ladies blogs are offering so much to us in blogland and they have all given to me a whole new outlook on my passion...of quilting and stitching...

Take care and happy stitching......Peg....:>)

Harrison Rose and number 6

I can't believe I have finished this quilt....Harrison Rose....this has been folded up in my cupboard for quite a few years...I have done a bit of hand quilting, with Perle cotton, very basic around each row, not a lot, and the centre rose I have anchored with colonial knots ......but I am pleased with the finished product and more so that it is finished ...the last photo shows where it will live in our home...this is our tray mobile which was owned by my DH's grandmother, so it is a very special piece of furniture.....and this is my number 6.....

Generosity.....

I have received in the post today this lovely pen which has been engraved "Happy In Quilting Peg" how cool it that.....the very generous Marc who was ever so naughty, has sent this to me, with a beautiful card and verse.......I have a thing for pens, this will be cherished......I do hope you can read the engraving........hugs to you Marc, you are a treasure......
Now....these are the treats that have been sent to me by Bonnie...to use as prizes for the challenge....as I explained in an earlier post Bonnie sent me an email and said she would like to donate some treats for prizes and this is what she sent.....how generous is that......thanks so much again Bonnie, your generosity has blown me away...

Where has this week gone...

Oh dear where has this week gone....I can't believe it is Friday again tomorrow....have not had a chance to do to much stitching this week.....I try and stitch for at least an hour each night and it is amazing what you can achieve in that time....this is my next Angel, I have neglected her this

week and this is also some of the fabric I am using for my girls....

Time out...stop and take a look....

Darlene 3... Lynda... Angela... Sheila... Bonnie...Patti... Julie... Julie (shaggy quilt on sidebar)Amy... Amy...(nothing stopping this girl) Becky... Lynda... Bernadette.... Betsy... Raedene (2 finishes) Kris (Quilted Simple)...Bernadette 1....Bernadette 2... Pat (Club Quilt)... Karen... Rose Marie... Annette... Kris (Quilted Simple)...

These a few more of the completed challenges.....If I has missed doing a link of your finished product, please let me know, I have done my best, but some days I think I may have lost the plot (bigtime) I have created a spreadsheet to keep track of everyones progress all colour coded, it looks very pretty...LOL..... here is a list of the previously posted links.......here...here... here... here... here... here...

This challenge has been just amazing....now remember no pressure in finishing 5...one finish will place you in the draw...I am looking at four prizes...two handmade by me, and the very generous Bonnie, after she signed up for the challenge Bonnie sent me an email asking if she could donate some prizes which she did, will post a photo of these in the next day for so...

Bonnie thanyou so very much......... so come on ladies you have a week....
