Default It's Back!! Virtual Quilt Day will be on Sunday 1/20 - Are you ready??

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. it has been a busy couple of months for me. Not much sewing at all!! So I am happy to be bringing back our VQD so maybe I can get something quilty done!!

If you are not familiar with VQD, it's very, very easy. There are no rules!! I will make a new thread on Sunday, then you come back and post your goals in that new thread and then check in through out the day and let us know how it's going and cheer the rest of us on!! Easy Peasy. You can join any time of the day!! I will post the new thread on Sunday at 5 AM EST to try and get in early for those over the pond. Be sure to be on the lookout for it. This is a great way for all of us to have a quilt lock-in without having to drag our machines around town. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work gets done. Woo-hoo!! Of course pictures are appreciated, but not required.

So you have 3 days to prepare ...... Will you be joining me??

Ah Rachael she with so much energy! I always have virtual quilt days. I quilt all day on Sundays until I need a break. It sounds like fun if my memory is working I will pop on over here. I am doing a quilt for quilters that needs movement on it and also a wall quilt for Rhondas quilt swap that i havent even started yet. Yikes! so sure bring it on! today its mug rugs and quilted tablerunners for two of my board friends got one runner done not bound and well conceptualized the other runner so busy day. I am not terrifficaly fast. about two blocks per day and I am tired most of the time. I am on dialysis so you see Sunday is my Saturday lol I treasure Sunday and Mondays all day quilt time with a bit more energy. yahhoooo!!! see you Sunday. ghee could someone come help me virtually? like with the cutting? lol lug your machine your welcome at my house anytime everyone.

Sounds like fun. I'll be here checking in all day...although I hope I spend more time in front of the machine than I do at the computer!

This sounds like fun. I always seem to need some motivation. But, my problem is once I get on the computer I forget the time and spend literally hours reading all the posts! But, I think I will check in anyway. I have goals for the weekend and just need to get it done!

I've been waiting for this one! So much quilting to get done in January and February before our quilt show. Having to commit and check in helps keep me motivated....me, the procrastinator, LOL!
See you there....though surely NOT at 5am!

Looking forward to it!! I should have most of my goals for Jan finished by then, so maybe I can do something for myself.

There's a possibility I will be a part of this. I was planning on using Sunday to work on some stuff anyway, but we will have to see how it goes. I also have ballroom practice for 3.5 hours right in the middle of the day that day so that will take up a big chuck of time.
