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.

Wow, I'm lucky if I get a couple of charity quilts done a year! I am so impressed with your giving. Happy Holidays to you.

I feel so encouraged by you! Nothing better than to do something for someone you don't know and will never meet. The Linus organization is fortunate to have someone like you!!! Keep up the good work!

It sounds like you have been busy to. I'm barely getting the blocks finished for a quilt I want to put together. I get totally intimidated by how quickly some of the people on here put together quilts. I'm amazed by their talent.

20 Linus quilts a month??? Wow, I am impressed. Even if they are simple, they are made with love. Consider yourself one of the "angels among us". Keep up the good work. Here, I thought I was doing something great in 2012 by planning on one Linus Quilt a month. Looks like I will have to up my ante and do at least 2 a month. Merry Christmas.

Some months I just look at quilting books and magazines. So I am impressed with all you accomplish.
