Almost there..

I'm so pleased to say that I have nearly finished this quilt, I reckon I've been working on this on and off for 12 months, Its called Miss Millies Flower patch by the talented Bronwyn Hayes, I love her designs. I just have to stitch a butterfly in each corner. I'm so happy with my colours and I just love the burgandy border,
On Saturday I'm going to my first Australian quilt convention in Melbourne with my dear friends Cathy and Anna, the plane leaves at 7am so it will be an early start to the day, I can't wait. Only 4 more sleeps.
