"I tried working on my Red, White and Blue but still can't manage it, to heavy for me yet. Still working on smaller projects that I can manage and gettinga lot of them done, it's like Christmas shopping."

"Ihave made tons of place mats. They sell really well at craft shows and make a fast gift when needed. I probably have seven or eight sets myself, some seasonal and some every day ones. They are a great way to use up extra blocks."
"Riana, I don't think I survive a completely "sew free" diet, perhaps crocheting or embroidery, but some kind of hand work. Idle hands are the devils workshop and I get in enough trouble with out having idle hands. I have…"
"Riana, the Red, White and Blue is not coming along so well. I'm having a lot of medical problems right now, back and stomach things. I've been finishing up some smaller UFOs that I can manage without any tusseling them all…"
"Riana, your Biblical Quilt is beautiful and I love the binding it makes it extra special.
Zoe, I hope your getting a little rest, I know it is needed and well deserved. "
"Zoe, I am so glad you are safe. It sounds like you had a lot of cleaning up to do, I understand what that is like. We lost a lot when we lived in Florida from hurricaine michael. My son called and told me that the town we lived in…"

"Wilma, I understand what you mean about appliances, nothings made to last these days. When I was a child we never had to replace anything. My Mom used even the same toaster for thirty years. Of course that was all before plastic…"

"Zoe, I love your beach quilt. I have used Attic Windows for a lot of panels, most of them when the picture is vertical, but a few horizontial like yours. They do take up a good bit of wall space when finished in the horizontal. …"
"Barbara, I love the way you marked the hezies. Thats really a great pattern, I know what you mean about the centers, I never thought about a hammer. I have always joked that I iron some quilts into submission, never thought of beating…"
"Elizabeth, I love those greens, they look festive. I also love easy blocks like those, youcan turn them into something that lookslike a lot of work but isn't. Just a few turns here and there and there's a great different…"
"The best thing about the things we make is they can be anything we want them to be. Wall hangers can be table runners or bed runners, bed quilts can be hung up if you want to. I have wrapped other gifts in quilts. I figure if I…"

Gail, feel free to take part in all the discussions. Sometime in January I will be asking to see who wants to participate next year. Then I send out questionnaires. Secret Santa sisters will be assigned usually in April. Then you have all year to work on things for your SS box. We mail them out around the first Saturday in December.
This year we had a couple of contests. There are discussions all year trying to find answers to questions that maybe weren't on the questionnaires. We post tutorials for gift ideas. We have general discussions too.
So welcome to the group. Take part so we can get to know you for next year!
Linda
