Sorry I'm going to sit this one out. Too much going on. My brain is on overload with vacation, scraps to treasures, setting up me new sewing room, and making 2 other quilts for gifts. Catch ya next time.


Sew, sew, and sew some more that's my motto!

Ok, that's it for sign ups. If I have your money you may get started. I am only missing Needlecrazy's - did you send it? I'll let you know when I get it if you did.

You now have 49 days to get your project finished and send the pics to me via email along with the "story" behind it. Bon chance!

I'm sorry I missed this. I was pretty much off the board all summer and Jayardi just 'told' me about this one.
I love Christmas and would have loved to enter this one but I'm still behind on so many things at this point so I guess it worked out for the best.
I hope to be up to speed and sewing again by mid-October so will be looking for other challenges during the winter months.
Good luck. I can't wait to see the results.

• • • It's here sitting on my desk, staring me in the face, waiting to be started. I sure hope I can find time to work on it. Need to finish my scrap challenge, head to AQS Des Moines, then organize the Quilt Show and count votes.

Oh boy, there isn't much time for all of that, but I am going to try.

Lori, did you get my e-mail yesterday?
