The Whip is Whirling!!!!!!!!

Hi Girls

Firstly, a HUGE Congratulations to those who have finished - they look fabulous!

For the rest:

It's past the middle of September - there are two weekends left - how are you going???

Will you get to the finish line on time???

Can you at least get the top done by the 30th??

Are you working on Nature's Journey??  

Show some progress - do a post -
 we all love to see what you are doing -
 and it gives encouragement to everyone -
 and we can show Chookyblue that we are all in this together -
 it will give her a nice warm & fuzzy feeling too.




Having said all that - and I hope I have encouraged you - 
I have to confess that I probably won't get to a finished top - (but I'm trying).

I am with you. My top won't get finished.
Will take a picture and post all that I did while in Bathurst.
Chooky saw me working on it.
