editor's letter If you've been following me on Sunday QUILTing, a segment on <strong>QUILTsocial</strong> blog, you'll remember I started making quilts with mom earlier this year. We decided to get together every Sunday (hence the name..) in the afternoon, tea included. We have joined forces for many reasons, one was to spend more quality time together, and since we would soon be done with light chit chat we thought it might be fun to make things together. Mom has been sewing clothes for over 50 years and has dabbled in quilting for the last seven years. This was my opportunity to get on with the projects in my stash. As I mentioned in my first post, 4 ways to work quilting in your busy lifestyle, it's a lot easier when you team up with a quilting friend, you share the work and it keeps you on a meeting schedule, like church. Here's our first quilt, completed in the spring called I Love to Knit. The fabric print, with sheep that knit and knitting jargon all over it, was absolutely impossible to resist as I happen to own a knitting obsession as well. The top and backing are both pieced as I wanted to make it reversible and use up all the fabric. I love everything about it, the way it was pieced and the way it was quilted - what a team! Since I bought this fabric, it has taken me a long time to cut it up, so we kept the pieces wide and long enough not to lose the funny knitting sheep and long script. We added fabric with text and flowers, and I just had to embroider the quilt label by hand. You can see and read more about this quilt, and the other two baby quilts we made in the summer, in the subsequent Sunday QUILTing posts. I hope you will find the technical articles and purposeful projects in this issue of <strong>QUILTsocial</strong> very helpful in accomplishing your quilting dreams. Cheerfully, follow me on 3
