Hand Quilt-A-Long (HQAL)

It has been a crazy 3 weeks.  First off as I was getting ready to do my post last night for the HQAL, I discovered I had no internet, TV  or phone.  although it was supposed be fixed by midnight.  This was after a week of having my air conditioner go out and my washer on the fritz.   Luckily I have air conditioning again, but am waiting for parts for my washer.

 Three weeks ago I posted I was working on this.

I did finish the stitchery, made it into a wall hanging to give to my friend in Massachusetts when we took our granddaughter back to college in Massachusetts.  I was in such a frenzy at the time finishing this up, getting packed and getting things ready for my brother-in-law to stay with DH that I neglected to take a picture of the finished project. 

I was also working on this Flourishes block, hand applique.  

I took this with me to sew on the plane trip across country, but the lighting on the plane was not so great.  I did happen to get 2 more apples and 4-1/2 leaves stitched.  6 more leaves and I can call this block done!  I am sort of bored with it, and finding it hard to motivate myself.

I hope to finish this in the next  couple of days.  Also I will be sewing my Time Began in a Garden blocks together.  This was an old, old BOM, designed by Sarah Sporrer.  

I have the components together.  It was a quilt-as-you go project, so it is already quilted.
