Completely lost track o f this thread, so apologies if it's been posted already!
'Twas the night before Christmas - Quilter's version
'Twas the night before Christmas,
And the quilts were not made.
The threads were all tangled, the cookies delayed.
The stocking weren't hung, the pantry was bare.
The poor weary Quilter, was tearing her hair.
Stacks of fat quarters, tipped over in streams.
Visions of Log Cabins, had turned into dreams.
When what to her wondering eyes should appear,
But a bus full of quilters with all of their gear.
They went straight to work with just a few mutters,
Sorting and stitching and brandishing cutters.
The patterns emerged from all of the clutter,
Like magic the fabrics arranged in a flutter.
Log Cabins, Lone Stars, Flying Geese & Bear Tracks
Each quilt was a beauty-even the backs.
Her house how it twinkled, her quilts how they glowed.
The cookies were baking, the stockings were sewed.
Their work was all done, so they folded their frames,
And packed up their needles, without giving their names.
They boarded the bus, and checked the next address.
More quilts to be made, another quilter in distress.
She heard one voice echo, as they drove out of sight,
Happy quilting to all and to all a good night!

Knittette, that is such a cool poem! Thanks for posting it for all of us frantically trying to get all our quilting done in time for Christmas!
Good morning all! Well, guess who forgot to set their clocks back! Yep, me! I reminded everybody else, but didn't do it myself! Will run around the house & get them changed shortly. I have my box ready to mail & will get it out this week. Don't want my Santaee to have to tortured for too long!
It looks like everyone who's chiming in has agreed to an opening time of 4 p.m. eastern. Looks like that's what time we'll go with.
Hint for the day: I'm in the Army now.......

December 8 @ 4pm?
That sounds good to me.
You have to remember, not everyone will be happy with the time, but chatting it over with everyone in the US and outside the US is a good thing. I know it sucks when people are left out because of the time change, but is there really any GOOD time that works for each and every person?
Just let me know if this is a FIRM date and time and I'll put it at the top of the thread.

If i or your person doesn't hear from you, you can receive negative feedback. You don't want this to happen because of a mistake you have made.
