What's happening.....

I just realized that the blog I wrote Sunday was actually written at 1:00 a.m. (or thereabouts) on Monday. I really do need an extra 8 hours a day.....

On Monday we had our usual Sit & Sew (thinking of adding another day in the week for Sit & Sew in the New Year but really need some feedback before I decide). Fiona stopped by with a little gift for us that she couldn't resist - it's a stapler.......
...and Kathy showed off her Signature Quilt which came out absolutely stunning! The signatures are on the green strips running vertically through the quilt. She was aiming for a lap quilt but it just kept getting bigger.....so we've named it the "Two Lap". It's for her neice and her husband who were married in August...

(Yes Libby - Barb and I will get that signature quilt we promised you done - hopefully before your 50th!)

You've seen this one before - on my blog, on Elaine's blog and now again here! Claudette is thrilled (peeking out from behind the quilt) she has finished her granddaughter's Christmas Quilt.......and it is spectacular!

Check out the detail of the dancing lights.......

The reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh......

...and of course the West Indian Angels! She did some fabulous embellishing and the method was Quilt As You Go so it's ready to go onto the bed when she's finished showing it off!

In January we'll be starting our Christmas Club with a Quilt As You Go quilt that will be ready to adorn a bed or hang on the wall in time for next Christmas........look for details in our upcoming Newsletter!

Tonight was our monthly meeting of the Underground Railroad Club......they come for the tea and cookies (and chocolate)! Chocolate covered Cream Puffs from M & M's are to die for......

Then they got a great history lesson from Nancy..........

Suzi finished her Underground Railroad quilt top and put the borders on tonight....it looks fabulous!

AND NOW FOR A SNEAK PEEK!

......at one of our Block of The Month programs coming in January!

Marti Michell and Maywood fabrics have teamed up again to bring you a fabulous BOM - American Beauty! This picture does not do it justice.....but,

Look at these fabrics.......I am working on the "light" version of this quilt and Elaine will be doing the "dark" version of the quilt......so you will actually get to see first hand what they will look like once they are done.....

So rather than get to start my next Fit to Frame #1 quilt I am cutting out the templates for this gorgeous queen size quilt which will eventually adorn my bed.......I can't wait (Bosley will then be banned from my bedroom......it is white after all!)....

Happy Quilting!
