THE NEW YEAR IS COMING

This blog looks so empty with no pictures posted in so long. I think Becky has a top almost done and I am currently working on my new charity quilt. I have 3 or maybe even 4 charity quilts that need to be basted and quilted so hopefully we'll have some pictures up soon.

We resume our weekly meetings next Thursday and our first Saturday class is January 15 where we'll be starting a bento box. Happy New Year

DECEMBER UPDATE

As you read I restarted Faithquilters a month or so ago with a few changes in the future of the group. Faithquilters had their second annual Christmas party this week. It will be our last meeting for 2009. The ladies all seemed to have a great time and we just had dinner and relaxed. Even talked Anne into joining us.

January will be bringing some changes to the group. While Kathy will be continuing on her projects, Dana and Becky will be starting quilting 101. They each have a finished quilt but now it's time to take a step back and start learning measuring, cutting, using rotary cutters, accurate squaring, etc. We also have a new member Ruth joining us in January so it looks to be an interesting year.

Beginning in January, charity quilts will be worked on the 3rd Thursday of each month and we'll be having one Saturday class a month for special projects. Every other month will be UFO or catch up Saturday. The first is January 16 when we'll be doing a bento box. Febraury will be UFO day.

Watch for our updates as I'm expecting a truly blessed year. I think the group has the potential to be fun again and produce some great quilts. Check out my personal blog also for updates or my quilts - victoriasquilts.blogspot.com

See you soon
