    I leave my computer on all day and just because it shows I am here doesnt mean that I am........ I might be out doing something else and it is hanging out here with you guys. :)

    I just walk by and check my messages ever so often.

    Here is a photo of what I have done so far and I am ready to assemble blocks then square them one last time then I am putting this rascal together!! You can see the two blocks in the back of the photo and they will alternate with each other to make the center of the quilt. But because the Colts are playing and I never miss a Colts game, I am stopping to watch the game tonite. It should take one day to finish and if it rains tomorrow I might knock it out and get it our of my way after the trip to the post office.

    But the Pink machine is finished!! :mrgreen:

    All of the fabrics have snowflakes on them except the white on white. Even the batik I have for the backing fabric has snowflakes on it. There is no mistaking this for anything but a Christmas quilt. :D

    I do have a lot more done to it since the last post. I am almost ready to put the final stitches in the sewn blocks and then I am putting the blocks together in strips. Needless to say I have been treadling my little heart out!!

    thanks for the peek at your wife's present! Hey, does she quilts? Glad you're able to finally get the time for yourself to
    do what you wanted to do and still manage to finish up the machine. Gonna give you some wind here to help you move along faster....hope it helped! That is very pretty fabric that you are using too.
