Double Delight Centre Finished

Hi to everyone
I am finally getting my quilting mojo back, I have finished the centre of the Double Delight and are really pleased.I love the colours an the way the pinks, blues and golds work together.
The borders are my next aim and they will be pieced,   I have worked out all of the maths and now need to get down to it.
My aim is by the the end of November which is only a few days away to piece the borders and have them on ready to go and be quilted.

Mail delivery

Over the last few weeks I have received many parcel in the mail the first was my Stitchers Angel parcel from Patti in the states. From Patti I received a pin cushion, a xmas quilt and many more things. Thank you Patti for being so generous. My batteries are flat again so I am sorry no photos.

November challenges

Hi to everyone,

I have not been posting as much normal to the pressures of life.

Over the last week I have managed to post out the Advent swap parcel and strat working on the Double delight by Bonnie Hunter that I started last January, It is my aim to complete the quilt top by the end of November. I will post a photo later in the week when the batteries are recharged for the camera.

Another planned finish for this month is a a least two blocks for Breast of friends, I am at least half way thru my blocks and are playing with ideas how to set them out.

Please spare a thought for the all of the young adults that are studying hard for their final exams here in New Zealand. Our youngest Gabrielle is studying hard and is only a week away from her first exam, she certainly is working hard!

Talk to you all again soon Jeannette
