Just wondering if you have plans for Monday OR anytime soon for that matter?
There was a post made the the Quiltville-Yahoo group from a member who received a post from a different group.....
Lately I have been thinking about what changes may be ahead for our country as we usher in a new administration, and what those changes might mean for each of us as citizens. Since Monday is Martin Luther King Day, and MLK Day is supposed to be a day of service to others, I have decided to issue a challenge to quilters. And that means you.
If you're interested, go to my blog at http://kimmyquilt.com/blog/
Please feel free to forward the blog addy to quilting groups or quilty friends. The more hands we have working together, the faster we will reach our goal.

After a bit of reading and searching, here is the exact post where Kimmy is talking about the "challenge"....
http://kimmyquilt.com/blog/2009/01/17/judged-content-our-character/. To sum it up, she is requesting assistance in making quilts for the QOV.
I have always thought about doing a worthwhile project and have heard so much about the QOV, BUT have never know who, what, where, etc.....
So now-----I am motivated! I can't wait until tomorrow! I will use tomorrow since I have school on Monday to get a good start on a quilt.
I hope you will join in, for a good cause, and just for the sheer JOY of making another quilt!!! :0)
Also---on another note....I am putting up my feet for the evening of hand-sewing the binding on the Smooth Sailing quilt. Mom and I have put in Momma-Mia. We went shopping this morning, were back by 1:00, so I whipped up this little pillow to go along with the wall hanging.
Oooooo, I also made a half-batch of Monster Cookies!!! I had some extra stars left from the peanut butter cookies a couple of months back, so I threw those on top as well. (Pay NO attention to the partially eaten cookie in the bottom left of the picture!!! I have NO idea how that happened!) (*wink*)Okay----off to sew.
Happy Saturday.

Happy Sunday! I have donated quilts to QOV and have quilted quite a few also. After reading Kimmy's post I am trying to figure out which of my finished quilts I need to send along. I sent 2 ealier this year to Alycia but now since they need 300 more I need to send a couple more. If it weren't for these soldiers our freedom may be taken away from us so it is pay back time! Have a great day off tomorrow, even though there is no grain markets tomorrow I still have to work, darn!!! :={
