Can you believe it..................



'Yippee Yahoo'......I have another finish...this has been laying on the spare bed for several weeks, I sent it away and had it quilted by Betty (as it is a very large quilt) as soon as I received it back from Betty I attached the bind and then it sat and sat and sat....so Sunday night pulled it out and started sewing down the bind and I finished it last night....this can be a number two finish for February's "One Project A Month Challenge"... hosted by Kris and May Britt..... how good do you feel when you finish a UFO.... boy it is hot today.....

  1. That's a gorgeous quilt -- but I can't believe you sat and did the binding in the kind of heat you have over there!! That's dedication! :-) Congratulations on another finish!

  4. Hey Peg! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quilt!!! The colours are so soothing and resful and all the better because you could match all sorts of colours to it as accessories!! Super Stitcher does it again! Have added it to my spreadsheet for you - two finishes for February already and it's only the 3rd!! Hope it's a bit cooler for your today! Bear Hugs! KRIS

  10. What a lovely quilt, those colours are so calm and peaceful. You're bound to enjoy it a lot once the weather cools down. Can you believe we've got more snow that we've had for about 10 years!
