All Work And No Play

Posted by: johannauk on: April 16, 2008

Makes Jack a dull boy, says my Quaker Gameboard – at least, I hope it will by tonight ;) I decided to give this one an airing for UFO Tuesday, as I really am very close to finishing.

BEFORE:  AFTER:

I really enjoyed working on this again, and plan to stitch for a couple of hours each evening now until it is done.

My latest Ebay purchase arrived this morning….as a big fan of Harry Potter I have been tempted by this book in the past but it was always a little pricey due to popular demand. Worth waiting, I got it for £3.90 :)

Thanks girls – the encouragment is appreciated, I know an end really is in sight maybe within a week if I keep stitching on it in the evenings :)

The game board is looking great! And I too am a harry potter fan. What a great price you paid for that. It was well worth the wait. And thanks for visiting my Blog!

Hi Jo,
I love the way your gameboard is coming out and I love Harry Potter.

Your game board sampler looks great. Almost to the finish line! I am not a Harry Potter fan but that pattern is cute.

Great progress on the game board. I love the colours.

Harry Potter pattern looks really interesting.

::::: AHEM!! :::::: I do believe it is time for another blog post, Jo. I’m getting withdrawals!! =)~
