TOP IS FINISHED--

and here in the states on the east coast it is only 8:30 pm--
so I am not late yet?????

here is picture of the last two blocks--
I just had to add one with snow--
and I found that there was enough room to add this to row 4--
and as I love to do alot of handwork things--
here is my sewing block--
the counted cross stitch block is my initials and the year!!!

Now are you ready for all the rows together???
I am sooo happy that Chookyblue got that whip out a month ago--
at that point I only had the first two rows done--period--
but have worked really hard to get the the last 3 rows done--
and I did it---
as I only hand quilt -- I have kept these in rows and will hand quilt them that way--
it is easier for me on one this large---
and I hope to start that process in the next day or two!!!!
So me my quilt send a very Happy Thank You to Chookyblue and friends--
Hugs, Di and kitty Miss Gracie
