No finish--- Naughty!

I feel like a very naughty girl who is now in BIG trouble! I have to confess that I still have 3 blocks that are partially completed. They have gone on hold temporarily as I am madly painting brooches and buttons-- in my spare time (instead of sewing)-- for a couple of shop orders--and I do have to get them to the shops well and truly before Christmas-- actually, in the next few days! Once they are done, I will concentrate on the quilt. Mind you, I do have a lame excuse-- at least I tell myself---I joined the SAL in January and therefore had a late start--- I know-- it is a poor excuse!!
Chooky-- I do intend completing my quilt this year.
Congratulations to those who have completed their quilts or quilt tops by the end of October.
Cheers,
Yvonne

Yvonne _ I'm sure we understand work does take priority at times. Hopefully we will see your quilt before year end or soon after.
