At last!
Yesterday, at last, the table in my sewing became covered in fabric and block patterns - and one block was made. After a long, desert from P&Q during the spring and summer I am on the way. I'm relieved that it feels so good, because I was beginning to be afraid that I'd never get the urge back. Pat on the green |

Yeah ! One block at a time. First comes the small steps of deciding on a block pattern then pulling the fabrics. Those steps can take quite a while!
And on to do another one, right?

Last week I 'finished' two Christmas stockings that my SIL needlepointed in
1970 for her daughter. Didn't know how, never had - but SIL died this summer and our niece very badly wanted them completed. Week before? I replaced the canvas awning at our back door. Totally uninspired and just weary, I've been hemming receiving blankets for needy babies. Having a quilt block beginning sounds just so lovely. Polly |

I am so glad you are getting back to the p and q Pat. Sometimes life gets
in the way and we get side tracked. A few years ago I was in the duldrums with my quilting. Took a long time to really get back into it. The kids charity quilts were my motivator along with the wonderful group of gals I sew with a couple times a month. We have spent the last year rehabbing our 'new' house and I am just again getting back into really doing some quilting. It feels good. Good for you. A quilt is made one block at a time, just keep plugging away and let us know. We are so glad we can be your cheerleaders! Hugs, Taria "Patricia Storey" wrote in message . ..

Thanks ever so much for the encouragement, Taria and everyone. It feels
so good to be talking P&Q (rather than broken Sky box, boiler problems, gardening in the rain etc!). This afternoon one of my quilting friends came for lunch. Her style couldn't be more different from mine. She had brought along a completed, vibrant floral pink and green (basically) quilt for her daughter. I showed her what I did on Saturday, to continue what was started in September 2012! The quilt was going to be all black and white (black on white contrasting with white on black!! - so really bright - not g). I had decided that I would have to introduce a colour, so I decided on green (of course!). Well, Meg was kind enough to say that she liked it - asked me what I would quilt it with. She wanted red, until she saw the green, so we settled on a variegated green! I hadn't given any thought to quilting thread at this stage. I feel so much more optimistic, too. Another friend said that my 'spirit' needed creativity to work properly, and that block on Saturday did a whole lot of healing all by itself. What a welcome thought. Really lovely to hear from you all; glad you're sewing again, too, Taria. Pat on the green .. In article , says... I am so glad you are getting back to the p and q Pat.

Glad you're back quilting Pat and Taria.
I had a ufo New Years resolution this year. Only one completed though! Our WI challenge for this year for the Suffolk Show is making various specified items for charity and I have been given the job of co-ordinating Project Linus Quilts. These won't be judged at the show. Out of 70 ladies two of us make quilts as a regular thing, one has made one for a grandchild and another does beautiful sewing, but not quilts! Lets hope more come out of the woodwork! I have sorted through my fabric and am ready to begin, but actually starting seems to be the difficult bit! I would like to get something simple done for the January meeting so the lurkers might volunteer and not be frightened off! I am hoping that the fact that their work won't be judged (and the criticisms are usually harsh) will encourage them - I know it has frightened people away in the past. I just have to actually start! I've also been asked to do the breast cancer heart-shaped pillow which will be judged. I have two pretty sets of fqs that have been in my stash for ages which will be just right. Just have to decide on a pattern (and again do more than just think!).
