Finally Some Tops Finished.

As well as lots of sorting and packing donations I have finally had time to quilt some more donated tops. There's still lots to finish so I  won't be accepting tops, QAYG blocks or fabric for some time until I  catch up.

Many thanks everyone for your generous donations.
