I have been amazed at how many people have stopped by to comment and enter in the drawing. It continues until Wednesday night so comment by then if you want to be included. I have tried to visit everyone’s blog who has left a blog address for me and I have added many to my Google reader to see what you all have. I hope to make some new cyberspace friends from this! I love visiting blogs from the states and outside of the US also. For those that are not in English I use the Google translator and where sometimes it doesn’t really translate accurately I can usually figure out what you are writing about. If anyone knows of a better translator let me know and I will give it a try.
I have the first border part way done for the Christmas Baltimore Album – in this photo the greenery that is straight out is needle turn applique down. I have already put in at least 6 hours on this border – not counting the preparation work. I can see it will easily take 30 hours or more to do one border! When I get done with this red flower there is next a white flower that is larger in the center and then another red flower and the greenery as shown here. This red flower is not stitched down at present.
On Friday I met one of my Dear Jane quilting girlfriends and I got one of my blocks finished! I have not worked very steadily on “Insanity Revisited” and so I have not made a lot of progress recently. But I am glad I finished this block that has 39 pieces in it. It was actually quite easy as Dear Jane blocks go because it was all straight edge 
pieces – no curves or weird shapes. This block is G-10 Woven Meadow. I am half way done piecing the blocks for this quilt – this might sound good – but don’t forget all those border triangles left to do also! It will be another year and a half at this rate before I finish this top.
