The Night Before Christmas is so tempting but with 3 quilts ready and BOM I'm hesitating. Wonder how long I will hold out. A trip to LeVeta to meet everyong would be awesome. Compared to the world travelers on their site I am a homebody. Nashville is as far west as I have been so a trip to Colorado would be wonderful. Sandy

I would love to go to LaVeta and meet everyone--hopefully with my FINISHED quilt in hand! I've still got to post my blocks. I'm getting close to finishing the May block. I may add some beads, but I'll do that after the hand quilting is finished. Sue, the blocks have really been enjoyable to work on. Judy in Torrance

Oh boy, now we have to wait. ........So much fun.

What a tease! Susan, I've just started your "The Night Before Christmas" BOM but would certainly welcome another. I'm enjoying these two so much. Marge

Well it certainly is MY goal to share our quilts with everyone else in CO- that's doing them and to inspire others to do the NEXT one ---- SUE????

I really do hope that we have an opportunity to go to Colorado and share our quilts -- wouldn't that be just a boatload of fun??!!! And I would LOVE to meet all of you! Everyone's work really - and I'm not exaggerating - just keeps astounding and inspiring me. So... put some plans into your family budget for travel... and let's see what happens.

I went to La Veta last month and sat in the audience to watch the taping of one of TQS shows and it was wonderful -- everyone at TQS is so warm and friendly, and clearly, they have a lot of fun there. What surprised me was how many people came to the taping from so far away -- the audience was from all over the country! As I sit here, I have to say that the entire TQS venture brings a whole new world of learning and sharing to all of us through a unique venue. We are all so fortunate that Ricky and Alex (and Justin and John) are willing to share their knowledge, creativity, experience, and lives with us.

As for the next block-of-the-month... I believe an announcement is in the offing!

Interesting you should mention the finished quilts as I was just thinking last night,

"I wonder if we really will all gather at LaVeta sometime with our finished quilts? That would be SUCH fun!"

I guess we can continue to wonder, imagine, and dream! After all, that's kind of what keeps us going as quilters....dreaming and imagining!

It is so dangerous for me to go "surfing" through all of the forum notes -- I end up looking at the blocks everyone has posted, and then looking at the quilts and then... it just keeps on going and going, and I need to be quilting other things! Oh well - it is fun to romp through the Forum, and I end up being so inspired by everyone's work!

Now that you are completing more blocks, isn't it wonderful to begin seeing them as "sets" instead of individual blocks? I want to see the finished quilts now!! I just LOVE what I am seeing, and love the variety of colors everyone is using. It makes me want to start another bouquet quilt!
