Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas my special friends. 

I hope your day has been special and you have found peace and joy. 

Ours has been quiet as we like it, the girls open their gifts in the morning and we spend the day just relaxing.  Tomorrow (boxing day) we will venture out and see other people, turkey dinner with our closest friends.

Thank you so much for being a part of my world, I believe I have all of my blocks and will soon have a beautiful, colourful quilt to relax with.  I hope to have Lizzie's blocks mailed out this week, and I hope to have all of my must be finished pieces (including a "special project") finished before the 1st so I can mail out and get a fresh start in 2012.

What are your plans for 2012? 

I've seen the idea of another quilting bee round has been mentioned.  I would like to participate if you don't mind holding off on starting it for a bit.  I'm feeling a bit run down with my monthly commitments and need a bit of time to recharge. 

Have you some ideas for the future...maybe even a small exchange?  Or another thought, what about a charity quilt?  We can pick a charity, and everyone make a block?  Even if it's not a charity, a donation to someone's local nursing home?  Just spitballing some ideas.

Whatever works out to be, I look forward to working together.

Take care my friends, all the best in 2012!

Sorry I am so late, hope you like them though!

No Kaffe in my collection either but I hope you are fine with the colorful one I chose from my stash...

I really enjoyed making these two squares for you and I hope they work out and that I followed your instructions ok!

"The Trees" and Lizzie's blocks from Elaine

I've finally turned all my lovely trees into a quilt.

Thanks to everyone in this fabulous "Bee" for your contribution to my little forest.

I love the way it turned out and apart from some wonky quilting

which I'm in the process of fixing it makes me very happy.

 Today I received a parcel from Elaine with 4 beautiful blocks to be included in Lizzie's quilt.

This also made me very happy because now I have 12 blocks and that will make a quilt.

Poor Lizzie drew the final month with this Bee

and sadly some of us are tired of making blocks or are unwell,

or too busy or just don't want to play anymore and

I'm waiting for a parcel from Teresa (on it's way) but I haven't had word from anyone else
 about more blocks coming this way.

That makes me sad because I really wanted to make a quilt for Lizzie

that shows her how much we quilters all care for each other.

Only 6 of us have contributed to this quilt so far....

if you still want to send some blocks for Lizzie's quilt

please email me and I'll wait for your blocks to arrive.

Otherwise it's going to be a lap quilt.
