There will also be a great giveaway from Timeless Treasures on the Sew Sisters blog so check them out as well.
Edited to add: I think that there is actually a giveaway on Sew Sisters blog every day of the blogathon. Sweet!
When I told you about my month of September last week I forgot to mention the quilt retreat that I went to. Three days of sewing and fun in beautiful Haines Junction. I didn’t take any pictures…. but I can show you some of what I worked on.
A wee bit of quilting…. I hope to have another finish to show off soon!!
I finished the third panel on my Three Cat Stories Quilt. This one was started in …..2010… It isn’t quite done yet. I am still going to put a border on it, but I am aiming to give it away at Christmas so I had best get on with it!
And I put some more of my postage stamps blocks together…. There is a long way to go on this quilt as this is at most a quarter of what I need. But it does go together quickly once I work on it.
That’s all for today. I’ll be back tomorrow to remind you which blogs to check out for the day.

Lots of work and colour there Janet- looking good so far on these quilts
ReplyDeleteOh, that postage stamp quilt! I found you when looking down the list to see who would be hosting from the Yukon. I signed up to follow you. I'm homesick!
