January finish

I only had a few stitches left on the binding and yesterday and today I finished it. This is my first finish this year ;) The top was sewn by Andrea who gave it to me a little over a year ago.


My arm is feeling better so I hope I will be able to begin working on Monday and also sew a little more.

So glad to hear your arm is feeling better . . . . nothing like aches and pains to make us unhappy about not being able to stitch. Love you new finished quilt. You're off to a great start in the new year.

Yeah for the fist finish. I'm up to the binding on my first finish for the year too.

I'm pleased to read your arm is feeling better. Just look at that snow....oh my and here I am sat glowing ( sweating ).
You were correct with your comment on my blog that that area of NZ looks very like your country. I think you are right, but I only have your photos to go by.I just love knowing someone in Iceland.... you are so very far away but right here on your blog.
Hope your arm fully improves. Hugs from NZ. ( had to laugh at the word verification I just had to type in iamali ( I am Ali )
