End of month reporting

 It’s the last day of the month and I had my challenge item sitting on the couch, waiting to be worked on, until 2 days ago. My En Provence Bonnie Hunter 2016 - 2017 mystery quilt needed its binding. I actually stuck with it and finished the top in January 2017. There it sat until I finally got them Quilted in 2023 by Judy.

 Then it was trimmed and the binding machined on to the front. Once again, it sat in the cupboard.

But thanks to the challenge it’s number 1 was drawn out to be worked on in July. And I did it. The hand stitching is done.


It is finished and beautiful.


I have also put a hanging sleeve on and the label. So when I gift it everything is ready.


So cute all rolled up.


I am linking up with Deana over at

Great finish Jo.

Nice job! I think a long time finish feels more satisfying that a short term one. Congratulations!

After a couple of crazy months, I am finally catching up on reading blogs. Boy, you have packed a lot in since early May. Didn’t you have the best ever extended birthday party and trip north. So many wonderful memories for you. I’ve enjoyed seeing your Farmer’s Wife quilt grow, as well as your Sashiko, kiwis, kawandi and En Provence. Hopefully, I’ll keep more up to date from now on.
