CONTINUING CHARITY QUILT

Today, I have stitched and pressed and stitched some more, then pressed some more, cut out, searched [!] and finally, yes, finally, I have got it together. Here are some pictures I have taken, some are before it was pressed and tacked up, hopefully I have them in the right order. If not, I hope you will forgive me. I have sent the girls who sent me stuff for this Quilt, a picture of the almost finished thing, apart from Helen G, I don't seem to have your email Helen. The Suffolk puffs [shudder] have to go on yet, I know where they are going, I have to quilt it first though, also I am going to put the binding on before they are stitched on. I've decided to put a hanging sleeve on the back, as I think this is more a hanging than a quilt, due to the 'free' ribbons. Anyway, this is what I have achieved today, I am very pleased with the way it is looking. {BIGHEAD!!}

This evening, I got a lot of the quilting done on this, I am not going to do a lot anyway, I think the picture is enough, but it will have to be caught down somewhere, so I went round each of the dancers, the pole, the flowers, the kite, the ball, the kite string, in fact everything that is on there and had to be appliqued on, I quilted round. I have a plan for the Suffolk puffs as I said, the binding will go on tomorrow so it is nearly done. I am aiming for it to be finished either Sunday night or Monday at the latest. HOORAY you say. Me too!
