On the 1st Day of Christmas...

Oh my goodness!

December is here and Christmas is a few short weeks away. Over the next few days, I would like to share some of my favorite things for Christmas giving or receiving. Here is the 1st one on the 1st day of December.

Today, I'm happy to tell you that Patchwork Party, Fall 2009 has been extended until the end of December. We had an incredible Spring Patchwork Party and the fun continued through the Fall and we were not quite ready for the fun to end. So, need a wonderful Christmas gift for yourself or for a quilting friend? Collect a sampler block ($7.00 each, postage included) from each of the participating 12 stores and then choose your favorite finishing kit. WOW! Each quilt looks soooo different and they are all beautiful--it would be a hard choice, although I like ours the best.

See some closeups here. The fabric line is Samsara from Benartex--gorgeous focus fabrics and great coordinates. Don't wait, Patchwork Party Fall 2009 ends December 31st.

Also, only 4 more days until the Dolly Dresses Blog Event starts. I can't wait until you see our quilt.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Lynda

Patchwork Party 2009

We are so honored to be a part of Patchwork Party 2009. Patchwork Party was created by Deb Luttrell from Stitchin' Heaven. Twice a year a special fabric is chosen and 12 blocks are created from that fabric line. Each of 12 quilt shops is assigned one of the blocks to kit and sell and each shop also designs a unique finishing kit. This spring the fabric line is Sachet Potpourri from Marcus Brothers. It is a gorgeous fabric line.

Our block is Fantasticks and we think it is pretty fantastic. All of the other blocks are equally great. Each block kit also comes with a pewter charm. Our charm is the cute heart-in-hand shown below the block. Each finishing kit also comes with a special Patchwork Party quilt charm.

Our finishing kit is shown below and we think it is beautiful. All twelve of the blocks are nicely showcased and the applique adds a special touch.


Come join the fun!!! To order our block and finishing kit, go to GAQF Patchwork Party. See all of the blocks and all of the finishing kits at Patchwork Party 2009. We are having a great time!!

Let us know what you think about our finishing kit.

Happy stitching,

Lynda and Nancy
