Stitch-A-Long - - - - -

Block D

Block E

Block F

Block I

It has been a very long time since I have made a post….I sort of lost the plot with GJ..

But I have been watching everyone’s progress…and congratulations…WOW…the finished quilts are awesome….

I set myself a goal two weeks ago…to have my quilt completed before GDITC..(12 months ago Chooky, Dale and I decided we would try and complete these quilts for show and tell)….Well Dale finished hers ages ago..Chooky has a finish (is the bind done Chooky)….and I was the slack one..anyway on the weekend I did finish my top…it has been quilted….the bind is on…and I have about 12 inches to sew down on that, so tonight my quilt will be finished……and I have three days to spare….LOL…….

These 2 blocks have been a long time coming ... sort of lost my momentum there somewhere along the way.
I can safely say im sick of sewing 1.2 inch squares but besides that i really enjoy the piecing of these blocks :) I still have a little stitching on Block F but am going to get right on to that after this blog post .....
So that leaves me with Blocks B,D,H and I to go and 2 days left until the new Stitch-a-long starts , oh well i tried and am determined to get this finished soon .

Loved stitching this one...
All my efforts so far has resulted in a partially completed top...feels good when you can start joining blocks and it starts to grow!

Here is my Block E finished - I'm nearly done!!    After reading the last post, I would like to encourage everyone who has been lagging a bit (like I was)!   I just couldn't seem to get to putting my blocks together as there was just too much else to do before the end of the year.   But for the bonus of a few days after all the children and partners had gone home, I wouldn't have this nearly completed by now.  So... don't worry if your circumstances don't afford you time at the moment ... just know that everyone in the group will eventually have a beautiful quilt to enjoy ... doesn't matter if it is this week or next month, or next year!!   Stitching shouldn't be under pressure, but a relaxing, gentle art!  Enjoy each and every stitch!

And another bonus - Block E could then be joined to Blocks C and D!!   The end is in sight!!    Some spare time this afternoon should hopefully see me with a top put together completely!  Yahoo!!!!!!

I just had to share my excitement..... I joined all the blocks together today .... bit of a rough photo but my hubbie isn't a very good quilt holder, I have the wide border fabric but not the narrow border fabric so that will be my next job.

I started stitching December's block before November's block (oops), so here is Block E - One more to go.  I have put the middle of the quilt together, but I am not going to post that until it is finished completely.




Wow, this has been so much fun and I can't believe there is only one more block to go! Although I love Chookyblue's post about maybe another Stitch-A-Long?  Very interesting!

I just finished another block of my Gardener's Journal. This is block E and it's my fifth block. Only four more to go! :0)

Hi there, I'm very happy to have finally finished my June(shame on me I know) block.  Here it is hot off the sewing machine this morning.
