I'm back......

I'm back at my Farmer's Wife.  This is so cool!  It's not that I've been avoiding it but it was really difficult working on it when I didn't have space.  Now that I have space I am able to spread myself out when I watch TV and actually do my hand stitching....so, I've managed to do two blocks tonight......

Block 53 - Jack Knife

and Block 54 - Kitchen Woodbox

I have a total of 23 blocks done now.  I am embarrassed to say that I started this in January 2010 - so that is over 3 years.  Of course I can use the excuse that I am doing it by hand and that I took a 8 months off during the chemo because it was difficult to stitch by hand but even so that only adds up to about 8 blocks per year.  At that rate it will take me another 11 years to complete the blocks for this quilt.  I'm thinking I would really like to step it up a bit.....

Tonight was a stellar night - two blocks, too much TV, but if I keep watching TV I have a chance of getting much more done.....

Bear in mind I have a million other things to do,  I need to extend each day by at least 2 hours and then maybe, just maybe I will get this done....

Check out the Cock A Doodle Blog (www.cockadoodlequilts.blogspot.com) and see how long it takes to do one of these quilts by hand.....

Have a great day everyone!
