so i have been a pretty poor blogger of late, but i have a good reason i have been stitching.....trying to meet my PHD deadline so..... with 18 days to go i am thrilled to say i have made real progress i was a little worried though i pinned my already bordered blocks up on my design wall ( a already completed quilt, hung back to front) and decided that the red i had used it my blocks was to dominant and was detracting from the stitching so i unpicked the blocks and re created them then i finished the blocks that were yet to get their borders and not only have i finished the first of my goals but i am very close to finishing the second and third the stitchery is all but done and will only need one good night of stitching My Knitting is also progressing very well and i hope to be posting here soon about another completed project hope your hands are working on something that you love Patricia
