I'm trying to remember that amid all the excitement and preparations, planning and secrets, this is the time of year to also relax a bit, enjoy the moments in the moments, to also just be.
So maybe I will try less writing for some of the posts leading to the holidays, but no promises, I tend to have a lot to blab on about many days. I'll try to take more pretty pictures as I go. The amount of sewing around SCQ Towers will be up and down, depending on how much of the other holiday stuff is happening.
There is a full on shot of the Edmonton Modern Quilt Guild's QuiltCon Charity Quilt. I am very proud to be part of the group who made this fantastic quilt, which will be displayed at QuiltCon and then returned home to donate to a charity.
The MQG chose the colours, Stacey designed it, a group of us pieced blocks, I quilted it, Gwen handstitched the binding, and I put it in a box headed to Austin on Friday. It takes a while to travel south from Canada but it should arrive on time by Jan 3.
It's last chance to join us for the Scraptastic Tuesday link for December, join us if you have not yet done so. It closes at 10 pm tonight MST.
Best,
Leanne
Your guild quilt is lovely...all that quilting! WOW! Someone will be very lucky to get it. Also love your free-form blocks...i'm not that courageous yet~
ReplyDeleteI decided over the weekend that I'm going to focus a little more on getting ready for the Holidays for the next two weeks instead of freaking out about things I "should be doing".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful guild quilt! Ours has yet to be bound, then on its way!
ReplyDeleteThe crazy patch is wonderful and the sampler is great. Yes, lets take time to smell the gingerbread!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly 10 days? YIKES!
ReplyDeleteI really like your crazy patch. Love the material.
ReplyDeleteI love how the Quilt Con Charity Quilt turned out.....it's fabulous!!!
ReplyDeletethe charity quilt is a real beauty and your crazy blocks really appeal to me, are you going to do lots of hand embroidery etc on them? you know how I love craziness
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteGosh I love all your thready quilting! It fits this quilt so beautifully! I also forgot to say that on your QuiltCon quilts--especially enjoyed the quilt that had the variations, like errant wood grain, in it. Fun to go backwards and see how your strand of roses started out: as a rosettes!
ReplyDeleteLoving the guild quilt!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your charity quilt in person. We're still wrapping ours up so I hope it arrives in time. Not the best planning to need it there by Jan3rd. Seems like they could have pushed that date back a week for the holiday shipping hassles. Congrats on your personal quilts getting in the show too. I got one in as well.
