I've been working on a couple of things.
This is a block I made for Victoria @ Bumble Beans for the New Bee Swap. I liked how it turned out, however....I goofed. I've had so much on my mind lately (will tell you what at the end of this post), I got the size right, the dark colors right, the star right, but the star was suppose to be a light blue. I sent it anyway with apologies. She sent us some fabrics to incorporate in her block. So I told her I would make a new block if she would be so kind as to send more fabric.
This is the block I made to send to Beth @ Love Laugh Quilt for a chance to win enough blocks for a quilt. It went in the mail today. Mine is very simple, some are very elaborate. I hope I win.
Now I've been in a bit of a tizzy lately. Around November 1, I got my copy of Quiltmaker's Newsletter by email. I'm sure some of you get it too. In this particular issue they said they were looking for quilters to be a part of their 2012 Scrap Squad. You had to send them an email telling a little about yourself and 3 pictures of Scrap Quilts you have made. So I sent them an email, with pictures on Nov. 2. I got an email saying they received my email and would get back to me in a few days as they had publishing deadlines. So everyday I would check my email hoping to hear word. I was so anxious and then I knew I hadn't been chosen. Monday while checking my email I saw a reply. I was afraid to open it because I knew it would say....Thank you for your interest but the squad is full.....
What I saw shocked me. It said: CONGRATULATIONS, we would love to have you participate in the 2012 Scrap Squad. My heart stopped. I yelled, YIPPEE.
Quiltmaker will be sending me a pattern that will be in an upcoming issue and will be making a scrappy version of the quilt. I need to photograph it and send it to them. The photos will be shown on line (with quilts made by the other squad members, we are 8 in all) and will have a chance of having our quilts in the magazine.
Needless to say I am thrilled. I will be participating in 6 issues starting with the March/April issue. I keep you up to date on what is going on. Wish me Luck!!!
Hugs, Cathy
