READY FOR A NEW YEAR

The ladies met in December and we had an in-house lunch and worked on UFO projects. Now we're gearing up for the new year. We'll be meeting the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. The 1st is just for anyone that wants to come sew and the 3rd will be a planned day as we've done in the past.

I'm trying to get a little more organized this year so I actually set up a schedule of projects for the year. Beginning in January we'll rotate every other month between a project and UFO days. January starts with the pattern Lucky Stars (picture attached) and then February is UFO, a project in March, etc.

I tried to be a little diverse this year and add in some smaller projects like tote bags and purses so the ladies don't get so many UFO's. I'll post their pictures as we roll along in 2011.

SEPTEMBER PICTURES

Here is a picture of my Prism top I made for the ladies sample. Also included is a picture of Kathy & Ruth sewing. Jean got away before I could get a picture.

SEPTEMBER WORKSHOP

Wow I can't believe I missed posting the pictures for the September workshop. I've been trying to find a house to buy and it's very time consuming.

The ladies worked on a quilt called Prism from the Fons & Porter website. Jean, Ruth and Kathy all got a good number of their blocks finished before leaving. I'm waiting for every one to finish the tops so I can post the pictures here. They all picked some really great colors.

NON-QUILT RELATED

Ok I'm not donating him to charity and he's not a Faithquilters project but here's a picture of my great nephew, Trenton Michael. He was born last Friday.

RUTH DOES IT AGAIN

Like me, Ruth fallen in love with the Magic Tile pattern. Here is her latest. She is really getting some quilts finished. She's got a t-shirt one in the works now.

RUTH'S BLACK & WHITE

Just realized I forgot to post pictures of Ruth's 2 latest quilts. She did a really nice job on this black and white quilt which I believe is going to her other sister. Good thing she decided she likes quilting cause her sisters love them. Great job Ruth.

THANK YOU FOR RECENT DONATION

We revceived such a nice letter today from the Assistant Chief of Police at the Lakeland police department and I wanted to post it so all the ladies can read it. We donated some quilts last year and 6 more this week. Hopefully we'll have several more at Christmas. Here's her note.
