February 1 progress report

Yes there is some progress, in several subjects too.  First and most importantly, the 2015 Relay For Life year is officially under way.  I have a head start on my fundraising thanks to the fall retreaters and the Mysteries For Relay ladies.  Delaware Quilts will once again be an official sponsor of the Wicomico Relay For Life.  http://main.acsevents.org/goto/MargeGordon2015

Today is Super Bowl Sunday and the Mysteries For Relay group just got the final clue for the latest mystery.  If you would like to join us and get this pattern and a new mystery every six weeks or so, all you have to do it make a $30 donation on my Relay page.  (Anyone joining in February will get the latest mystery as a free pattern.)  Go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MysteriesForRelay/info for more information.   

And since it is the first of the month, I did manage to update the BOM page.  We have a new block this month, http://delawarequilts.com/BOMs/MosaicPW/index.html  I also updated http://delawarequilts.com/BOMs/OhioStar/
Sometime last year I decided I wanted to make ALL of the blocks I have on the BOM page.  There are over 125 blocks listed and more in the works, a lot of blocks.  I decided to make my samples 9 inch blocks, and use a variety of blues, yellows and white-on-whites.  What I’m going to do with all the blocks I’m not sure, no real plans yet, but I can report that I have 50 finished and several more already cut waiting to be sewn. 

I have not worked on my Postage Stamp quilt since the retreat in the fall, but I haven’t given up on it.  Actually the only sewing I have done are the BOMs.  However that’s about to be set aside too as I begin work on a special order.  (Top Secret for now)
