IT'S HERE !!!
|
|
|
FALL really is here! And I'm doin' a happy dance cuz that means those triple digit temperatures are gone for a few months. In most parts of the country people are getting ready to spend the months ahead looking at the world from inside their homes. But for those of us that live in the desert our suffering from cabin fever is at an end! I'm torn between spending time outdoors or at my sewing machine surrounded by fabric. |

THE QUESTION IS... |
|
|
|
What
do we wanna do Fall also means 2007 is almost gone. The Peace By Piece Quilters only have 2 more months of bee dates scheduled before 2007 turns into 2008. So it's time to make plans for the 2008 Peace By Piece Quilters bees. The 2007 chapter of the Peace By Piece Quilters will close with 22 bees behind us, showing we made over 400 quilts and had a lotta FUN along the way. SO... the question is... Are
we gunna do it all again in 2008

THE
CUTTING EDGE QUILTWORKS We made
9
preemies and 10 child size quilts at the September Peace By Piece Quilters bee
at the
Cutting Edge Quiltworks. We were visited by a Volunteer that hasn't been
able to join us in a long time. She brought us 11 really cute and colorful
quilt tops, featuring everything from Trains to Blues Clues to Precious
Moments to Soccer. We'll have FUN quilting and tying these.

SALLY'S
FABRIC Volunteers made 5 Child size quilts and 1 cute little Preemie at the October Peace By Piece Quilters bee held at Sally's Fabric. Part of the day was spent layering quilts so we've got a pile ready to quilt/tie at our next bee.

already on there! I've shared Pumpkin cookies and Pumpkin Pie. There's
even some Orange & Whites cookies & Peanut Butter Blossoms for all
the goblins. Not only is it Pumpkin season but also Apple season.
