Thanks!!
That stinks that you don't get to quilt often. My Mom has a ton of stuff that she's started and not finished. I think out of the 6 or 7 quilt tops she's got she has only actually quilted 2

we do a "box party" with other ladies throughout the country where you pick your pattern, then pick out your colors for the quilt, put everything in a box along with samples or the actual fabric you want used, with the pattern and a book for everyone to write something in and sign...send it to the first person, they decide what block they want to make for you, piece it together, sign your book and then pass it along to the next person. I'm doing it for the first time this upcoming year. Then we also do this thing called "mystery block exchange" where each lady picks out colors they want in their blocks and also a "background" color, no samples necessary but they are helpful. Then, we distribute the list to every lady involved, who in turns picks out one block to make for each lady (the same for each) with their colors of choice. Then we exchange the blocks @ our get together in August every year. I eneded up having to make 14 different blocks this year and they were all so pretty! I'll have to post some pictures of a few. Anyways, At the end of the year you end up with two tops for quilts!!

wow, that took a while to explain. Anyways, if you ever felt like you might want to find another group to join since the other group you were in was very cliquey you're more than welcome to join in on ours. We're small so far but I asure you, we have no cliques!

for scrapbooking!! I LOVE doing that as well!! And I also enjoy crosstitching
