A Quilt For Me This Year club
I've seen several people who are planning on making a quilt for themselves this year.
I'm no exception. I find that I keep making quilts, but they end up in different homes. It's about time that I have one for my own bed. This year, i'm working on TWO. Maybe it's the snow that's making me want them, i dunno, but i'm determined. If those of you who are planning on doing the same this year would like, we could set up a group, and either post off group or here, doesn't matter to me. I'd like to hear your progress, your struggles, etc. Let me know what you think. If you want to contact me off group: craftigirl at earthlink dot net -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne |

We could 'keep in on the NG' that way we may get more as the year
progresses. Just NOT have deadlines or anything--just a once a month update of our progress. And have the YEAR be from the day it was started--so if you "Start in May"--then see if you have it done by "the next May" it might be doable for more of us......... whaddaya think?

What a nice idea! I've got a WIP that I would like to finish, and it really
is something I think I want for myself (though my son said he would like it). It's a confetti quilt, mostly 1 1/2-inch squares. In fact you must be psychic, as I just dug it out yesterday to work on for a few days! Now, if I can just find the rest of the pieces that I had cut out... Are we to report to you as we make progress? -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine.

Beautiful idea. I have two in mind also, the long desired Christmas colored
quilt, which is my DIY BOM and the dahlia. Id love to hear and see the progress we make through the year, pictures if possible. Im setting my sights on just the top for the BOM but finishing the Dahlia completely. Thanks J!

Count me in, and this may be the hardest challenge I've done yet! Make a
quilt and keep it for myself? What a thought! Yes, I'm in. My new house needs a quilt for the guest bed, and for mine. My goal is to finish a quilt for the guest bed, and get a good start on the Queen size (oh how appropriate : D ) Starflake quilt. Is somebody keeping track of us who join? Is someone going to initiate the monthly challenge update on the ng? Thanks, Jalynne, for getting this started. This will really help me! Karen, Queen of Squishies |

I guess I shoud join up also. When I am sitting in my chair watching the
telly and doing needlework, I use a ratty, not so old quilt I got in one of the touristy shops in the area right after we moved here. It's one of those ones made in Korea or somewhere and the kitties *love* it. The colors are perfect for the room -- lots of purple and green -- but it's really getting yucky and worn (probably from the cheap fabric that was used). Anyway, I have all the fabric needed to make myself 2 seasonal quilts -- one for the autumn and one for the winter. You have NO idea how difficult it is to get purpl-y autumn or winter fabric with kitties on it! I have managed to accumulate enough suitable fabrics and I hope to get at least one of those quilts finished this year :-))! CiaoMeow ^;;^ ..

Ah.... one club I don't have to join. ;-)
I'm really good at keeping my own quilts. I have my whole cloth queen sized, on my bed upstairs, four lap sized and one double here in the living room, several older ones down in the play room, and each child has three of their own. LOL... hmm.... and I have a top done that is supposed to be for me and another one in mind..................... Marijke who keeps lots of her quilts! "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...
