Today, using the help of my two little girls with pin passing, and between playing farms upstairs I have the top together. It still has to be trimmed and a final border added but it looks amazing!
Thanks for the challenge Christine.

Snatching time to keep an active brain
Those of you who have taken part in the construction of our Christine's Posies Quilt will understand what a challenge it has been and when no-one was game to come near it last time we were together as I was adding the thin green line I decided to snatch bits of time to complete the top.

Spring has sprung and the sunflowers are finished
Last Friday our get together was most productive. Elaine stayed over at mine on Thursday night (she is not able to drive with hip recovery). We were joined on Friday by Karen W., Carol, Ros and Stephanie.
Ros sewed the label onto the Sunflower Quilt and we actually photographed it and declared it finished. Liz (NZ) won the quilt but was happy to pass it on to Stephanie who had expressed a love of it. So congratulations Stephanie.
Much chat occurred over lunch and afternoon tea of course.
One of our time consuming puzzles was the Bookcase Quilt. It is really looking great and we have now chosen a fabric for the border.
Cathy's Purple was sandwiched and tacked and Ros has taken it home to quilt and bind. Hooray! In the down time she continued with a project she is trying to finish.
Carol got Linda's old sewing machine working which was very handy when there was so much to do. When Stephanie arrived she did a lot of oiling of the machine and changed the type of bobbin in it. After that it sounded much better.
I took on the next step in the Posy quilt. What a lot of brainwork that was but I think it is now working. We are creating a narrow floating dark green border around the posy section. We did the same thing on our Brown Roses quilt ages ago that we put into the Quilt Show.
I have received a few of the Seminole blocks back and they are looking great. I hope you are all enjoying the challenge.
We are still looking for a charity to donate one of our quilts to so if you know of one please let me know.

It is certainly looking great so far!
