Yeay, a quilt nearly done!

I cant beleive the "On a Whim" quilt is off to Pam of Quilting Guru tomorrow, to be quilted...  so I have actually nearly finished my second quilt!  Amazing what a deadline does to motivation....

There were many stresses in this quilt:  getting the points to match... grrr...
The red fabric that ran when stream pressed, so back to the stash for a replacement...
The sashing that was sewn on, only to discover a hole in the fabric!  back to Spotlight for another 2 metres of grey...
Anyway, progress report:

Cut the strips for the Carpenters Wheel for the Always Bee learning Bee ( and cut my fingers on my brand spanking new Olfa).

And I may have found another home for the 20 year WIP purple sampler quilt!!!!!

Another try...

...at blogging, let us hope that this time it wont be as stop and start as the rest of my craft life!

The main reason I lose motivation is thinking "no one reads this"....  so please if you can, a little comment, just to keep me going?????

Since my last post... what have I done?, well, I have delivered Eva's gorgeous log cabin quilt to its owner, made lots of Bee blocks, received lots too.  A bit of knitting here and there : a beanie warm enough for Alaska for R and 2 pairs of gloves, one of which winged its way to my sister in the US, just in case it got cold in California...

Current WIP's:

1. the famous mauve quilt....  say no more...
2. a "On a Whim" quilt of 20 blocks from Camille's pattern and to be followed in the Flickr group  Swooning on a Hopalong.  Here is the progress so far: 

1.  putting together the blocks my "Bee Connected" mates made, which are little paper-pieced boats, for a quilt for Eva's little brother
2. putting together 2 lots of gorgeous scrap blocks from online Bees, to be finished in time for our winter ( for charity)
3. the planning and sending out of 11 lots of blocks for the Always Bee Learning bee, using a modified  Carpenters Wheel pattern from Quilters' Cache

ummmm... I think/hope thats it!
