Margaret,

love your bargello quilt, well done. Sounds like you needed plenty of patience. The border fabric compliments it beautifully.

Carol B

I made a small bargello quilt top during the 2013 Worldwide Quilting day -

It has sat on a shelf since then, so I dragged it out, added a border, made a sandwich and quilted it, about 41/2 hours.

Afraid the lighting isn't very good for the photo. I will finish it and not leave it for next years Quilting day

To all,

I spoke to Katy last night, she wanted a full run down on how everyone was doing - I did my best to update her as much as I could.

Katy is still having her ups & downs but she and her daughters are doing ok.

She asked me to pass on a message - she misses everyone and thinks about us all often, and she sends her love to all on the forum.

I told her we all still missed her.

Brenda, beautiful work as always.

Rosemary, you have really been busy, Linus will be so grateful

Margaret, what a super bright quilt, love the back too.

I finally finished putting my little blocks together, been a difficult month but thanks to the Challenge I have at least finished one small UFO.

Carol B

Congrats Glenda and Sue,

sure you will have a great time.

Reenie,

What a lovely quilt, and great quilting too, well done.

Jayne,

beautiful quilt top and what a well thought out wall hanging. Your visitor is going to be so proud to take that home for his Mom. That shed is certainly getting good use.

This is a series of 12 blocks made during a challenge set by Tessa in 2015/16 called Alphabet Month Challenge.

We all made a block for ourselves using a pattern we chose individually starting with the same letter as the month.

I made the blocks but never put them together so this month it will get done! (I hope).

Carol B

Thanks Emma, and yes I will join the challenge this month.

Carol B

Lots of busy people on here already, and lovely items.

Glenda -- Just got to say that I think your hand quilted quilt for your son is fantastic. He is a lucky guy with a very talented Mum.

Although I have been keeping an occasional eye on the forum, I haven't felt like posting much. Guess what I had for my birthday - that's right, flu. DH and I had flu all through January and I am just finding some energy again. Thank s to Maria for prompting me to post with your lovely sewing joke thread.

Hopefully I will have regained my posting mojo, I have already kick started my sewing mojo so this month is looking brighter.

Hugs to all that need them

Fiona,

Good to hear you are back into sewing, good luck with the quilt, look forward to seeing it.

Jayne,

super quilt, I love your colour choice.

Carol B

Maria & Eileen,

good to see that our Dh's know how to follow the thread of the joke

Maria, just read your joke out to DH, he said it was very good and has him in stitches!

Hi Rosemary,

I have popped a few hug hearts in the post to you this morning.

Greetings back to you Jan. Will be thinking of you over New Year.

Claire, I had forgotten Jan's batty title.

Happy New Year to all

Eileen & Margaret,

you have both been so busy - lovely to see the great things you have been making.

What a great Cathedral windows quilt. The batiks work so well.

Carol

Hi Liz,

It is great to see you on the forum again and to know that you are ok. It sounds like you are being kept very busy but we all do miss you.

Have a Great Christmas and New Year, I wish you and all your family well in 2018
