Doodle and stitch for Cystic Fibrosis

As part of International Craft Month, QuiltShopGal is hosting a Charity Fundraiser to benefit Cystic Fibrosis. Called Bee Creative, it runs through the month of March. Event spokesperson, Darlene, explains:

This event has a Mandala theme, but you need not create anything if you don’t wish to, to enter to win prizes. Although you can purchase Mandala templates or Mandala machine embroidery designs, you can also make a cash donation to get virtual raffle tickets.

She’s speaking to makers, so if you DO create something, be sure and share it with the virtual community through one of three Alongs (Stitch, FMQ or Doodle).

I recently treated myself to “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” by Jennifer Chiaverini for the upcoming holiday season. As a fan of the Elm Creek Quilts series, I couldn’t resist diving into this heartwarming tale of Christmas traditions and family legacies.

The anticipation of exploring the holiday festivities at Elm Creek Manor is palpable, especially with Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, the Master Quilter, at the helm. Sarah McClure’s eagerness to bring Christmas cheer to the manor adds an extra layer of excitement as she uncovers a curious Christmas quilt with a rich history spanning generations.

As I eagerly await immersing myself in this delightful narrative, I’m already captivated by the promise of cherished memories, family bonds, and the timeless traditions that have endured through the years. With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.

Please make sure not to leave me any spoilers as I haven’t read it yet.
