Finished Quilt 12.31.09 Jolly Holly Days




Dec 30 09
The two year project is as finished as I can make it today. The binding is in place...and ready for the finishing stitches which Mum and I will work together at during our visit in a few weeks time.

I hope the next picture you see in this blog will be with my friend loves snowpeople. This little project (which took almost 2 years in and out) will be a gift of love for the many times SHE has been there for us over the past many years since I met her in 1980's. She began as a friend when I went to her for cosmetic reasons. I didn't know at the time she lived across the road from my sister's family. Through our mutual chats during appointments it became obvious we were talking about the same people, namely, my sister, bro-in-law and niece/nephew. Finally, as "they" say we connected the dots....and there was my friend of all these years now my family's neighbour. Goes to show you what a small, small, world we live in...... I am adding this pic here now because shortly after displaying with her picture I will be removing the jig saw puzzle of this finished challenge I gave myself.

It has been so much fun learning a new quilt as you go technique...and adding borders in the same manner....now I can just enjoy the fun of sharing.
