Mom Happy at work with piecing all our applique together

My flimsy pattern from Temecula Quilt co the 12 Days of Christmas

Mom and I worked hard for the last 4 days to finish this quilt for the deadline and believe me our fingers are really feeling it. I have been coming home and working on the applique for weeks and weeks so that we can get it done for the end of January I am happy to say that we are now done. It is now going to her group to hand quilt. We will be selling tickets! they will be 1dollar a ticket or 6 for 5 dollars all the funding goes to Erie Chapter for the Ontario Eastern Star. This is how the group gets their funding to pay rent, and keep their chapter going. There are only 2000 tickets so you have a good chance to win.
If you are interested you can email me for my address and I will be glad to send them to you once you send a self addressed envelope with the funds.

I thought I would post some pictures of our process this weekend you can see that I changed the corners of the pattern and really love the effect. We had a wonderful time putting this quilt together, we had to applique some that was left and then it was the piecing of the blocks and boarders and then the background.

Last but not least I had this flimsy done long ago when they were posting the 12 days of Christmas blocks I used some scraps that I had from my pie in the sky quilt. 

Mom in on the train going back home and I have to say we had a fabulous time, I miss her already we have already made plans for another quilt we would love to do together for the next visit and to see the play of War Horse. Mom had never been to a play we will have to change that!!

Hopefully I will be posting sooner than later but we will see...back to my UFO`s that were on hold.
