Here are the promised photos of the blue and white quilt. I discover
the first pieces were stitched on 25th July 2002. It was ready to
quilt in reasonable time, but crisis following trauma at home and the
quilting has taken forever, it seems.
I did some on a full size frame and then took it about with me when I
needed something to do whilst waiting in various places. It's been
lost between Chicago and Edmonton, accompanied me to Police Stations
and Hospitals, and been on trains, boats and buses.
So, I suppose the name I have to give it is, "Per aspera, ad astra."
a quotation from various sources, meaning 'Through difficulties
(adversities) to the stars."
Now it is finished, I can only hope that it puts the tin lid on the
rest of our troubles. We've had enough. It is, however, no longer
down as, "I'll finish that quilt if it is the last thing I ever do."

BTW, I've signed it with a pima pen Nel Eyre 2009. No name, no
label. If I decide to throw it in the local craft fair, I can add
whatever's necessary according to the prevailing rules.

It's just lovely, Nel; so very worth finishing. Now it will be able to
lift your spirits, as it hopefully marks the end of a very rough ride.
