I'll probably have to blow the dust off my machine when I finally sit down to do something quilty!
    Awww bummer!! Be sure to check in though as I will post the date for February at the end of the day. Hopefully you'll be able to make that one!!

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).

    I plan to quilt all day on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I will try to remember to check in. I may not because of that awful CRAFT disease I have.

    Do we quilt our own thing and just log. On periodically to show how we are progressing? Never done this before.

    Yep, that's basically it. Quilt all day on any project(s) you want, share progress as you go along, and have fun! Or, as some of us do, start reading the thread, get all caught up on the computer, and get nothing done all day

    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!

    Thumbs up

    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
