Oh, my dear sister, I have had such high hopes in finishing this quilt for you.
First, I got pregnant and had the house on the market, so had to pack the project away at the "cut and partially sewn" stage.
Then, a year later, a busted out the quilt top and deliriously expected to finish by December 1. Other deadlines interfered, as well as the reality that to quilt it "right," I needed more time.
Thanksgiving threw me a hiccup, then Christmas. I started the new year off with a bang, quilting away, and foolishly thought I could finish in time for Mom to bring it to you in February.
Grandma died. My floors were being redone.
Now, with Mom in the hospital, my days are consumed with driving to and fro and trying to keep the house in some sort of shape.

You are wonderful, loved, and are free to have all the time in the world on it. While I will be thrilled when we get it, I am more than happy to wait :). I am incredibly lucky that you would put so much time and effort forth for me, and I love you!
Your sister obviously thinks it is worth the wait. Seems you've had a year of extra excitement. Hopefully things will slow down soon.
Beautiful and worth the wait : )
Hey I have a quilt that took ten years. There is always tomorrow and in the mean time this quilt will always remind you of everything that has happened.
Life happens! It will be worth the delay.
Does the thought of how beautiful this is help to get back to it?!? Really... it's so pretty and the quilting looks lovely. Hope you can enjoy your hand quilting time on this treasure!
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns which keep us from doing what we had planned. It is what I have a way of calling “Living Life on Life’s Terms.” When your sister gets her beautiful quilt, she will be overjoyed. Take your time and enjoy what stitches you have left. It is such a pretty color combination, and the pattern is one of those we all love and cherish. Happy Quilting when you have the time to do it. genie
The quilting is lovely. Sounds like your sis is happy to wait for this beauty. Enjoy the process, it will get done in its own time.
So pretty! It will be finished when it is--no rushing the good stuff.:)
Some quilts are worth waiting for. Hopefully time will be on your side again soon.
Beautiful quilt. I'm sure that if your sister is worth that beautiful quilt she will definitely be understanding and love it whenever she receives it.
