The top is finished!! and it only took me since February to make it – 180 hours total.  Not bad considering I worked on other projects at the same time.  It isn’t hanging really well here where I took the photo, but I couldn’t get it to hang any better.  I have a curtain rod that I keep hung up above the closet doors on the end of the sewing room and then put it to that but 3834620933_3fb6e67e1dthen I can’t get a straight shot without one end of the quilting frame in the way.  Then when I was cropping the photo a little I noticed that the pull cord knob of the ceiling fan is dangling in the way.  The next photo will be when I am working on it after it goes on the quilting frame.  Hopefully that will be by the end of October so I can get it quilted in time for Christmas.

It sure was nice working in a nice clean reorganized room today.  I was so busy though finishing up the 4th border and then sewing the borders on to the quilt that I didn’t work on anything else.  I do plan to work on Dear Jane “Insanity” tonight when I get done with this.

I managed to get this basket full of items for future give away’s – books, rulers, patterns, notions, etc.  I never realized how many duplicates I have of different items.  Next giveaway will be when we return from our vacation, not enough time to concentrate on it right now.  I will most likely have a give away every other month for a little while to get rid of these things!  Even though I don’t want them I’m sure there are others who would like them.  (the basket is not part of the give away, I have had that one for awhile and will keep it :) )3834664869_beccedc6f4

Thanks for all the comments on my sewing room I had so many e mails and comments of how nice you all thought it looked.  Now I must get busy with “Insanity” – talk to you all later!
