december block - from abigail

here it is:




the turquoise ended up being two different fabrics because the pattern said to only cut four of each of the smaller squares, but in fact, for that piece you need eight (two per rectangle) and i didn't have any more of the turquoise with print (someone please correct me if i'm wrong...). hope that is OK!

Hey Y'all!

Hey Y'all! Hope everyone has had a wonderful year- as we wrap things up I wanted to remind everyone that we do have 1 more block to do.  It is called the Dresden Plate and I will put it up as soon as I get the exact dimensions. Since we are halfway through Jan. I don't expect it by the end of the month just whenever you can:) 
Also, Marion- I finished your block or rather 2 cause I wasn't crazy about my first one and I'll post pics when my husband gets home (cause my camera is in his car).

Lastly, I wanted to share these pics with you of Beki's completed quilt!  She finished it for a friend of theirs/ours, the Hacketts.  The Hackett family has been friends with the Graham's for years and have always been more than generous toward us.  They let Joey and I use their condo on Mexico Beach, FL for our anniversary and their beach house and lakehouse on many other occasions.  Beki had the great idea to make this for them and when we presented it to Renee Hackett at Christmas she was in love with it.  I just received a thank-you card in the mail from her and wanted to share it with y'all- "thank you so much!"  Thanks to your club and family/friends this is something I will always treasure. my goodness- it's wonderful!"  Hope this gives you all the 'warm fuzzies' like it did me when we gave it to her and when I got the note in the mail.  I love our little group.
Thanks for making this an awesome year!
