I have copied my last "Winter Stitches" post here and will update my accomplishments. I made good progress in December, even though it is a busy month with lots of holiday activities. Peter & I had a really great holiday season and hope that everyone else did too!
2. Participate in the 12 Days of Christmas Quilt Along - the first such event I have joined - status - Quilt top is now complete and I hope to start quilting it this weekend (for my daughter, Melissa) I have now machine quilted this quilt and have decided that since it missed the Christmas deadline for this year, I am adding some hand quilting to it.....

3. Mystery Quilt (Prince Edward County Quilters' Guild - PECQG). The project is called Beyond the Block. I need to have this completed for the Guild's quilt show in July 2012 - status - all sections completed to date. December's installment was on how to put it all together...which has now been done. I am now debating on a border...does is need one or not?
