Angela Obeso from the guild quickly deduced that we might need to speed up our block making process if we planned to have a quilt top with all the letters of the alphabet completed in this century....so we agreed to start making 2 blocks a month in 2012 with October 2012 being the month for "Y and Z". (Trust me there are not many blocks that begin with the letter "Z").
I think 6 intrepid guild members completed the quilt along. Some have already put their tops together. Rhonda (and several other BAM friends) came over for a sew day yesterday and Rhonda finished her sashing for her blocks and will soon be moving on to quilting her top. I have my blocks pieced together in the top and am now working on borders. Here is where I am right now:
The top was 60x72" without borders. I am not yet sure about the inner borders, but right now it's a white inner border before the more elaborate border is added on. More border to follow.
I have also been busy making cookies and finishing up my Christmas shopping and going to holiday parties and generally sewing less than usual. I'll be out of the office for a little more than a week and will not likely be doing much sewing. My grandsons will get most of my attention - we have our traditional Gingerbread House to make when I get there, some holiday cookies to make and then Santa leaves his presents and the fun begins!
I love this time of year! So fun to get the presents wrapped and all the yummie food and time to laze about without feeling guilt about it!
Aaaanyway, that's it from the Robertson household.
