Default Wow!!

To all of you who posted projects you have finished. WOW!!. I am so impressed and somewhat depressed by the quality and quanity of your work. I produce about 20 Linus quilts a month but they are as simple and as basic as I can make, usually a childish print with a layer of batting and flannel on the back. This last month I have crocheted my way through a whole box of precut fleece blankets that the Linus Chapter had donated to them. I crochet a colorful edge around the plain fleeces to make them a little special for the children. The only quilt related thing outside of Linus that I did recently was make little "thread catchers" for my Bee friends.
I always have a small handquilting project ready to add a few stitches to if I am not doing anything else and I work at handquilting on a raffle quilt at our local Senior Center one morning a week.
While I still collect fabric and quilt gadets I know that someone else will have to dispose of much of my stash someday in the future.
Ironically I won a king size pieced and appliqued quilt raffled off by a local guild just last week. It is beautiful but to big and heavy for my bed.
I am proud to be a small part of such a talented group of people.

Happy Holidays everyone.
