hello

Hi there everyone! I know it's been a long time but I've noticed there's been a few hits here and there on this blog so I thought I'd write up a little update.

I have not heard from Patricia since July; she's had a broken computer so I don't know if she's heard anything from the Kim's. I have not heard anything either. All I know is that the quilts were sent out sometime in June (early July?) by Patricia...I wish I knew more...sorry I don't.

Everyone should have also received a goodie bag from me...I sent the "pink gals" directly to you ladies and Patricia got the other to mail out to the yellow gals". Again, I haven't heard from Patricia so I don't know if those got mailed out or not.

Hope everyone is well and that you have a lovely holiday season.

Ready to Send!!!

Patricia has received both quilts and she should be sending them off soon (or has already!). Hopefully we'll have a picture of them completed for y'all.

Yellow quilt finished!

The yellow quilt has been finished for about a week now and it should be at Patricia's house soon! Sorry ther are no pictures of it as of yet!

Penelope's Quilt: Almost done!!

Hello all! Sorry it seems like it's been forever! Meghan and "her gals" have been quite busy, but the yellow quilt is ont he fram and almost done! You can see an update at Meghan's blog here.

Sabine's Finished Quilt!!

Sabine's quilt is all finished and it's just beautiful! A big thanks goes out to the gals who quilted it and to Meghan for binding it. The picture is borrowed from Meghan!

If you created a square for either quilts we will be contacting you via email to get your mailing address. Meghan is creating keepsake charms from the leftover scraps of backing and binding fabric. They're really adorable!

Update

Hello ladies! Meghan and her wonderful group of ladies are working hard on the quilts! Here's a little snippet of an update on Meghan's blog.

The Process

Meghan just sent me pictures of Sabine's quilt in the process!! I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am!! I got all teary looking at the pictures!!

Quilting has begun!!

Check out Meghan's blog for updates and pictures of the quilting process!!! They've got Sabine's quilt on the frame and have started the hand quilting!!! So exciting!

Quilting Bee

I just received an email from Meghan saying they're holding a quilting bee at the shop to quilt the quilts!! That's so exciting!! I wanted to post the details here just in case someone out there might be in her area and want to stop by and help! Meghan writes:

On Wednesday, March 14, 2007, we will be working on an extra special project - The Quilts for the Kim's. We will be putting all of your orders on hold while we work on quilting the first of these two very special quilts. We have decided to do an informal bee, and you are all invited! If you happen to be in the area (we will be at the Sauder's store), and have any desire to help with this amazing project, you are welcome, invited, and encouraged to drop in to add a few stitches of your own to this wonderful collaborative labor of love. We hope to get started around 10 am, and we will quilt until it is finished. Because it is a small quilt, we don't expect it to take too long to complete - an afternoon, maybe.

We want to thank you in advance for your patience and for supporting our decision to make this project our priority for the day. We believe that it is really something special

Ta-Daaaaa!!!

Here it is.............finally! Penelope's quilt. I had a terrible time getting a decent picture, and these really don't do it justice. Hopefully we'll get some better pictures when then are finished.

Thanks for again for your help.

The border print didn't show up well, but it's light yellow, with brighter yellow flowers.
