Whip Stitching!

No, not stitching in whip stitch ... getting stitching cos SOMEONE has had the WHIP out! Tee! Hee! Hee! I'm somewhat behind on the Gardeners Journal Stitch Along, though I DID tell Chookyblue when I signed up that designing and stitching pattern samples would have to be my priority. But ... with the carrot on a stick being dangled before me that I can't start the latest Stitch Along ... My Favourite Things Quilt from Anni's "Some Kind Of Wonderful" book ... until I've finished GJ, I had to get stitching.

While I'm still not finished, the weekend DID see me make some good progress. I had FINALLY finished stitching the Garden Show block a couple of weeks ago ... not sure why this block seemed to take so long, lots of interruptions, I guess ... so decided to head into the sewing room yesterday to work on piecing the last two blocks ... Block B and Block I. The result ...

Block B finished. And ...

... Block I finished ... WOO! HOO! which left me with this ...

Now I just have to join the blocks together ... oh ... and choose and attach borders ... oh ... and quilt and bind it ... SIGH! Guess it will still be a little while until this is finished!!! :0) Actually ... Chooky made a deal with me ... I told her I want to get this professionally quilted, since I don't quilt anything bigger than a handbag!!! ... and that it will be a while before I save up enough play money to pay for that, so she said that I can start working on Favourite Things once I have the top to this one finished. Isn't she a sweetie! :0) I'm hoping to join these blocks up this week, then have to decide on borders, so may be back to ask your opinion ... or I might put all options into a hat and draw two out! Tee! Hee! Hee!

Not much other stitching done this weekend, though I DID put some of what I'd read in Kerryanne's e-book into practice and spent some time making plans for my design business for next year.In fact, I got so excited about some of the possibilities that I had trouble sleeping Saturday night, cos my brain was spinning out of this galaxy with ideas! That's MY excuse for the bags under my eyes today, anyways! :0)

Whatever you got up to over the weekend, I hope your schedule included some time for you to kick back, relax and create and hope you all have a fabulous week too. I'm off to sew a few blocks together before dinner to see if I can stay a few steps ahead of Chookyblue's whip! Tee! Hee! Hee! Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
