Input needed!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

June is scheduled to be Anita's month but since she's had a hectic year and is still catching up on life, we need to take a vote for June.

Let me know which you prefer:
1. Meg is willing to switch with Anita and we stay on track
2. Everyone gets a catch-up month, we extend the bee an extra month (into January 2011) and Anita now has January as her month.

I am heading out to run some errands but I'll also send an email so please respond to either this post or the email.

Quilting to find a cure for cancer

Hi ladies! This isn't really related to the bee but I thought you might be interested in this...

I am raffling off two quilts as part of my efforts to raise $3500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am trying to help find a cure for blood cancers, and hopefully all cancers. We are *this close* to finding a cure for lymphoma and that cure could lead to a cure for all cancers.

More about this raffle and other details can be found here: http://craftyjennifer.blogspot.com/2010/05/chance-to-win-quilt-and-donate-to-great.html.

Both are lap quilt-sized, with the Land & Sea (blue & green) measuring approx 46" x 52" and the Raspberry Limeade (pink & green) measuring approx 42" x 60". Every $10 donated to this cause gets you 1 raffle entry, and each $50 gets you an additional entry. Example: donate $30, get 3 entries; donate $50, get 6 entries; and donate $100, get 12 entries. Winners for each quilt will be drawn at random August 1st.

Ellen’s blocks

I loved, loved this fabric, Ellen.  Hope you like them.  The one with the white border measures 12.5 x 12.5.  The other is 10 x 10.

Blocks for Ellen

I had fun working with these great fabrics, Ellen! Might have to pick up a few from that collection for myself. Hope these blocks are what you had in mind. I didn't have enough white to border both, hope you don't mind finishing that task. I'll drop them in the mail tomorrow. Enjoy!

FABRIC's here

Woot!

I can't wait to get started!

Fun, fun, fun! Ellen this is gonna be fun!

My Storypeople Inspiration

I went on my guild's annual quilting retreat this week and finished lots of projects, including my Story People block for Tracy. It was way outside my usual box, but fun to stretch. I also made a block with some of the extra bits of color which I'll send along. Hope you can find a home for it!

May Fabric

Hello All (am I doing this right?)
I just wanted to let you know that I am still waiting for some more of my fabric to come in the mail- Chez Moi Boutique by Moda. I had a little and panicked in the middle of the night while I was up with my teething toddler and had to order more! I went with layer cakes and charm packs for ease. April and May are my crazy months with tons of family birthdays and graduations plus gearing up for Farmers Market.
Hope you are all enjoying better weather than us in VT the last couple days. Yesterday we had 6" of snow and there is still some left on the ground now. Yuck!
