WE'RE ROLLING NOW

This past week was comfort quilt night and Kathy, Ruth, Allie and I all got started on a new comfort quilt. Allie is doing a top of 4.5 in sqaures, Ruth is making a 12.5in sqaure with sashing and Kathy has another Simple Simon in the works I think. I'll be doing a scrappy strip twist I think.

Kathy also took one of our partially made tops and finished it up this week for another comfort quilt. It looks great with the extra squares and border. Check it out.

FINALLY A NEW PIC

I posted this on my personal blog but I'm also posting here as it was a Faithquilters comfort quilt. PACE a non-profit organization in Lakeland helping teen girls is having a golf tournament this week including a silent auction. I dontated a quilt for the auction.

It's called a Sandcastle in the book Mad About Plaid. I used all leftovers except the grouting. I think it came out nice.

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

RESTART

I have decided to start or re-start my quilting group and for lack of a better name will stick with Faithquilters. We're getting together this weekend where we'll be making some cool 4 sided placemats.

Other than that we'll just work on whatever project each person has in mind. I kinda do my thing and just be available in case the ladies need a hand. A few familar faces have returned and the group is a little smaller but we'll be making some amazing things and getting some charity work done. As the ladies get things finished or started I'll post some pictures here so they can show their friends. Becky is back and has a puzzle box in the works so look for that in the future.
