Has It Been A Year Since I Started?

 It has been a year,

not a year of constant work,

but a year from start to finish.

It was last February 

while I was staying in Denver,

helping to take care of my little grandson and granddaughter,

that I began this

wool/flannel project

designed by

Primitive Gatherings.

There was lots of prep work:

fusing, cutting

and more fusing ,

along with  some help at the ironing board.

("Hey, Nana, I think it works better like this.")

But the blocks got done.

Well, not done completely.

There was lots of button hole stitching to do.

 I even had help with that.

Then all the borders were appliqued,

 half square triangles made,

and the top was finally pieced together.

Last week I got out my Perle cotton

and started big stitching.

Big stitching doesn't take too long

It is big stitches, after all.

So here it is all done,

quilted

 and bound.

Not bad for a calendar year,

even with help.

 Until Next Time-
