OMG!

Number 2 is getting flatter. I blocked the foundation chain and number 2 is definitely flatter.....

Number 36 - finish patchwork (started in 1988)

When I was 15 (in a galaxy far,far away) I had a knee operation and a week off school to recover. Instead of revising for exams I decided to start a patchwork quilt. I had done  patchwork before (I had made cushions for our caravan) but I wanted to tackle something bigger. Over the years this has been in and out of my life/carrier bag (my poor parentals even had to bring to me when I was at uni) but for the past 7 years it has definitely been 'out of life/in carrier bag' as I didn't know what to do as all the material has a history and I had run out of material. Plus it was becoming an odd shape.
I found it at the weekend and got it out to have a look. What a work in progress!!! I just to need to fill in a couple of gaps and neaten the edges. I have decided to get new material and have a 'future' section- full of material that I like but has no history.
I am going to finish this!
But not in my 40th year !!!!! Probably my 42nd (Street)
