Are You Liberated Yet?

2 posts in one day and today was supposed to be Wordless Wednesday LOL.

I just thought you might be interested to know what's happening in the liberated quilters world on Yahoo.

We are already up to 70 members - wow!

A challenge has been issued. We are making quilts for the Alzheimers Art Quilt Initiative, using the words "free" or "mind". Okay okay, I know the letter "M" is one of the hardest but I've got to kick-start these gals somehow! Anyway, we've got until the end of June so quite long enough I think to get the quilts done.

We are just about to hold our first virtual online retreat. Just one day to start with, but it should be fun.

We also have a few newbies who have never done anything like this before and are breaking out of the mould. Wooo hooo.

There are some great liberated quilters in this big world of ours. Not all of them have blogs, but some of the quilts are just awesome.

If you want to join in the fun, click on the link in the first paragraph, or the Join Yahoo Groups badge over there on the right.

Perhaps I'll see you there.

Oh and Tonya - your tutorials are getting a lot of hits.

Sunday Sewing

Amazing what you can do in an afternoon. Not quite sure where this one is going yet as waiting to hear back from Hedgehog Jen and one or two others who are allegedly making quilts.

I won!

Just for fun I entered a caption for the Quilting on a Budget blog (see link in side bar in the right) and imagine my surprise when Joan selected it! I had a choice of two books and picked this one. I do need to practice machine quilting in order to get those tops finished, and thought this might provide some inspiration! And another woo hoo. Been eyeing this up for weeks and finally bought it yesterday. All in French, bien sûr, but love it! Isn't it lovely seeing photos of quilts that you've followed the making of on Bonnie's and Tonya's blogs
