In my part of the world quilting still IS a social thing! I belong to 2 quilting groups, a 'real' guild and an on-line group. As well as quilts for ourselves, our families and friends, we make quilts for people in need in the community - and we have fun doing so.

I have nearly finished working on a small (A3 sized) quilt for a fun challenge with a couple of friends; we each picked a month and made something that, to us, represented that month. I chose January which I don't like because of its heat and humidity, but it was supposed to be a challenge! My little quilt uses bright blue fabrics with sparkly embroidery and beading, and here's the musical connection - it's name is "There ain't no cure for the summertime blues" from the song sung by Eddie Cochran. All quilts I make have names with a musical connection.

Back to the needle and thread,
Cheers
