Little tidbits of my life

Winter Quilt Challenge Update

I just wanted to send out an update on our first quilt challenge, our quilt block exchange with a WINTER theme.  As you finish your blocks, please mail them to Chasity as explained in your private messages I sent out a couple weeks ago.

I am in West Virginia for the month of October visiting my hubby...SO for those of you who still have not finished the quilt blocks, this will give you a couple extra weeks to finish up.  I plan to return home the first weekend of November.  At that time, I will touch base with Chasity (Senior Editor) and we will then make sure everyone has sent in the blocks.  At that point we will match up the blocks and send out everyone's packages! 

You will still have most of November and December to work on finishing the quilting project if you hope to get it ready in time for Christmas!

As I have said before, I just want to say again, please do NOT feel pressured AT ALL with the deadlines!  This is meant to be fun for all!  As each participant sends me messages, I am learning that we quilters have many common characteristics, including taking on a TON of projects all at once!  It does seem that folks are starting to get this project wrapped up, though...which is GREAT because I would like to continue with the same idea of themes and go with the next season in line if you folks agree!  Of course we can discuss that more after this project is finished.

Happy quilting to all and I look forward to your blocks!

I'm glad to hear that there's a possibility of doing more of these in the future. I was disappointed that my winter sewing list couldn't possibly include another quilt, but since I have been progressively working that list down, I may be ready by another season. :-)

Done! WooHoo!!!

I sent my package of quilt blocks in. It feels so good to be finished! And it got me 'in the spirit' for Christmas too! Can't wait to see what the others have done.
