Chinese Whispers

[Lotti D.]

went to Zurich today for my annual visit to the Swarovski tree and the Christmas Concert at the Grossmuenster.
Fabulous...
hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas too 8)

[Renata L.]

I'm delighted you are enjoying a wonderful Christmas day, Lotti. I can't think of too many things better than visiting the Swarowski tree and attending the Christmas concert. Many good wishes for a continued great holiday season and a healthy, prosperous and happy new year!

[Renata L.]

Sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas. My sister, her husband and 4 kids ( 19, 14, 10 and 8 ) came from Mexico. We had a great time in Disneyland, California Adventure and Las Vegas. We spent Christmas at home and they stayed until the 29. They are safe and sound back in Mexico. DH Is at work and seems really quiet around here now that things are back to "normal".


I want to thank you all for a wonderful year sharing life in this forum. Thank you for your advice and support.


Here's to a New Year full of blessings, health, love, prosperity, abundance and lots of quilting.

So very, very good to see you back here! You know that I have missed you. I am so happy that it was such a wonderful time with your family that kept you so busy. Now its time for quilting!

[Rita C.]

The same to you Limbania and everybody else. I am looking forward to a great quilting year ahead. I have decided that 2013 is going to be a lucky year for us all. So good luck everybody.

Marilyn, are you having any luck at all?

[Nancy R.]

Happy New Year, Limbania, to you and to everyone else! What a wonderful, supportive group of friends!!

Limbania, sounds like you had a wonderful holiday season with family! Glad you're back--suppose we'll have to start warming up for our turns at Chinese Whispers, eh? Happy New Year everyone!

[wendy w.]

Not me I'll be in a panic this time next year, good luck all of you who go before me and happy new year.

[Maureen A.]

A Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year to everyone. I hope your creative juices run free this year and next.

Marilyn, how are you getting on?

[Maureen A.]

Rita, I have just watched the quilt show and saw the piece about you. It was very interesting. I went back to youtube to listen to your beautiful singing again. What a great singer you are, what talent.

[Rita C.]

Thanks Maureen and the same to you. Here's to a fun-filled year ahead for us all.

Hello and Happy New Year all you Whisperers ! There's been so much to see and read the last few days !!
Great programs and lots of discussions ! And surprises, Rita ! As for quilting.....Well... :roll:
Seein's how I can't really talk about the project at hand....I'll say it took a while to marinate and then for
an idea to gel ! Now I'm well in progress but had to order supplies from Amazon ( the quickest way !)
And so I'll be hurrying to make up for lost time ! See beads sweat and crumbs of cloth flying ?? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Whee !!! I'm glad DH has good input ! And lots of patience ! All in all..it's coming along ! Just wait ! You'll
all get a turn ! :lol:
Cold and frosty here...not as cold as Bren tho...glad to say. No snow in the forecast but we could use some.
DH spent all weekend working on my old Singer treadle's cabinet. A real "box" job ! It came down in the
family..I learned to sew on it ! but it spent many years in a shed on the farm and then I packed it around a long
time. About 25 years ago..before I knew better..I disassembled and striped the wood...didn't finish it for Who
Knows why? :shock: ...Well , with lots of effort and hand-made parts, it is going back together. :!: Not original..
but should function. I have to do some more research on the machine. It has an old serial number and I can't identify
the model exactly...it seems to have an odd bobbin/case assembly. Decals are mostly gone...but seems to be
one called Painted Daisies ..has a" fiddle" base..1870-1880. About right for family story. I think it will sew ..I hope !
A winter project for sure ! Well, back to the grindstone, err...design wall ! Keep stitchin !

[Lois B.]

Be sure to show us "Painted Daisy". At least we can see that!

[wendy w.]

and we wouldn't notice if there were quilts in the background :wink: :lol:
