Lesley I am in awe of you, well done, you deserve a medal.

Hey there Esqmom, Do we have had Jane Sickle medals to give out. LOL Think this is a deserving case.

Lesley its beautiful and I love your colours. Are you quite sure it will go with your colour scheme because I think it would look better on mine, cause mine is pale lemon.

Lesley, your way of quilting it is excellent. Your quilt is coming together beautifully!

wow, Lacelady! Fantabulous! Smashing colors! On the count thingy, I wonder if she is counting the little sashing strips, did you?

Sorry, Elle, if necessary, I am prepared to redecorate! And as for medals, if Esq. sets a precedent, she will have to have a whole load struck as each and every one of you all finish yours. I'm just a bit in front, that's all.

No, that hadn't occurred to me - when I've got all the blocks done, I'll count them up too and see how near I get. Does anyone think Jane used cornerstones? That would bring the count up a bit more.

Crimeney!!!! Lesley!!!! :shock: :shock: Do you EVER sleep????? Its lovely!!! Beautiful job!!

But now that I see a whole row, I'm sure it won't go with your bedroom color scheme. You will definetly need to send it to me...I'll send you my addy... :lol: (just forget it Esq...I was here firstey) :lol:

Well, I see you ladies are busy busy busy. Yes, there will be a medal. Whoever wins will get Lesley's quilt. I'll do the drawing...no worries, promise I won't cheat!! LOL!!

I have GREAT news. I finished my Indian Orange Peel top and back. I'm sending it out to the LA'er to get it quilted as I've decided I much prefer piecing to quilting per se. So, this means the only things on my plate are the two IRR's I belong to, and the DJ!! I'm getting a cold, so I'm gonna chill out now, but I hope this week to start making some blocks again.

I'll see if I can get an okay pic of the IOP top to show you guys. I don't want to post it in the main thread as it's not done. I know, Lesley, if you don't mind, can I post it in your PDA? Then if anyone's interested they can go there!!

Yup, I am hosting Esq's quilt on my PDA - and if she thinks she is going to get my Jane, I want her Orange Peel!

And yes, I do sleep, but often don't do much more. I am lucky to have a home support lady who comes and helps me for an hour each weekday, so that does give me a bit more time to quilt than perhaps most. Even if I don't have the energy to do much else, I can usually do a bit of sewing on something.

Lesley, I am being wicked now, Its a Cadbury´s chocolate Medal. Temps here are around 26C, sorry honey its melted, No I would n´t do that to you just kidding you.

Sorry for my wicked sense of humour. Its too late now got to go to bed. Its 2.39am and I am pooped.

LOL, if you get another one, Elle, put it in the fridge! I would just be happy if you sent a few of those degrees of heat - here it is in May, and it's struggling to get to 12 C here, Brrrrrrr.
