THE SINGING GARDEN . . .

Put last stitch into the quilt 3 days ago. 
Quilt is now rolled up and packed ready to go to Editor of Popular Patchwork magazine and is to be revealed sometime next Spring. The pic below shows the unfinished top. 
Must say the quilting has transformed it.

It has been a fun quilt to make - tho' not without some hairy moments, with broken needles, thread and the accompanying ripe epithet.

Have nearly finished the Autumn Garden quilt top, but still have a few more blocks to make of the Winter version.

My GPQ Sampler Group are heading for the last round up. Final workshop on Saturday.
Some great quilts have emerged from this group.

My Elgar Quilt Group have almost finished their quilts. Next step is designing an Elgar Quilt for The Elgar room at the Rectory. Have some glorious fabrics, which I luckily bought from the States when the exchange rate was favourable. Over $2 to the £1 at the time.

Off to bed in a few minutes having spent a sleepless night watching the US elections. 
Weren't they thrilling!
