I've done it for the past two years and had a wonderful time with friends. I have to admit I am tired of all the applique. Gets a little out of balance and I've learned that I really like traditional quilting patterns. It's been fun to learn new techniques with a small project. It's also been nice to go to the different stores and see what they have.
I think this year we are going to be a lot more selective about the stores we visit.
