I haven't done any quilting since right before Christmas. I did clean my quilting room and sorted out some fabrics to donate but that is the closest that I have gotten to quilting in a while. I'll probably have to blow the dust off my machine when I finally sit down to do something quilty!

I am so tired of finishing one UFO, but I am 90% finished with the blocks, and tomorrow, I am finishing the blocks. come Heck or high water (or snow).
We don't have cable, so we can't watch, but we will be rooting them on for sure!!Cheers!

Okay looks exciting. I joined in new year day and enjoyed the experience. Not going to church as England is covered in snow and as we are so brilliant t coping( tongue in cheek) with it. Whole country amber alert and roads blocked so no 30 mile trip. The thread is staring earlier than new year day so thank you US for getting up early.

I will try to get on board, but can only do so if I can manage to clear off the paperwork on my cutting table! I'm drowning in it, but I really do need to get started on the quilted pillow to match the quilt I made my dad for Christmas!

What a super idea, we are snowed in here in Anglesey and with the ice and sub-zero temperatures I am not risking going out, so having a quilting weekend is a super idea. I am working on Sasha's quilt http://www.lovequiltsuk.com/childquilt.php?qid=421 for LovequiltsUK.com so I will post pics of my progress throughout the day. With the backing of the VQD I may even get it finished by Sunday evening which would be great
