The boarad is very quiet these days. It must be all the last minuet Christmas gifts being made.
My local guild had it's annual luncheon. We went to an Italian Restaurant. Very large portions and the food was good too. There was a large selection to choose from. We also exchanged Pollyanna gifts. We had picked out names at the Nov. Meeting. I got Lora and for her I got clips from Fons and Porter for clipping the same size strips or blocks together. The clips are marked with sizes, Also a Forns & Porter pencil case. I got from Chris, A 2009 appointment book, two pieces of black and white fat quarters for our challenge this year. "Black & White plus One" I also got some pink and varigated ribbon for ribbon embroidery and a spool of silk threads in light green and one in blue, and a spoon of gray thread for piecing. I only use gray and Mettler cotton... I ask for it every year... I want to get a whole box. One of these days...
Monday is our last meeting for this year. We are having cookies and deserts for the evening meeting. I also belong to another guild about 15 miles away. We are having a pot luck dinner on Dec. 18. I will need to bring a side dish. We are just exchanging fat quarters, wrapped... It is a large guild of over 90 members, but about half come at night and the other half meet in the after noon the week before. Most of them don't like to drive at night. The night gals are most of the gals that work during the day. Works our great.
Well back to my crazy quilt wall hanging. I have some photos of it I can post. Here they are..

Nice work Donna ! I've never done crazy patchwork and feel inclined (and inspired !)to make a start !! Any tips or good books that I should get ? It will be next year before I start so there's no hurry but your quilt is quite inspiring and I think I will make that my aim for 2009 !!

There are many books on the subject. If you have the chance, take a class, you will gets lots of good hints. Collect embroidery threads, beeds and ribbons. Take a ribbon embroidery class. Old ties or scraps of satin, laces and any fancy fabrics will do. Good Luck in 09.

Love the colors. I have a crazy quilt in a box that I will finish some time before I die or turn 90, whichever comes first.
It is really beautiful.
