Its almost a month since my last post. We are all back to our normal life. Andrew is back at work, Alex is starting her first year at Uni studying Early Childhood Teaching, Georgia has settled into Grade 9, (although she has a dreadful head cold) and I am back at school with a new class of Grade 4 students. I am extremely lucky this year I have a wonderful group and I am really looking forward to working with them.
On the craft front I have been making slow progress. I am steadily working on a gift for my on-line Friends in Stitches next swap, and I have managed to finish the second last block of the Quilt Aid quilt I have been working on.
The postman was also very generous this week and gave me Rosalie Quinlan's latest pattern called Advent Angels. Alex and I are planning to both make this...I feel some healthy competition coming on...I wonder who will finish first!

Love your Lynette Anderson block .. you've put a lot of work into your Quilt Aid quilt. Have a good week.
Welcome back! Looking forward to following your progress on the new Advent Angels. Your Quilt Aid block looks stunning. Good luck with the new year 4 kids and lets hope 2010 is a good one for you all.
Will you and Alex use the same fabrics for the quilt???
I would love to hear more about your quilting with your daughter as my two girls are wanting to do more and more with me.
The quilt aid block looks lovely.... they chose gorgeous fabrics for it...
Glad you have a nice class this year!!! It will all settle down soon and you and Alex can have your Advent Angels Sew Off!!
Georgia is so NOT in Grade 9???!!
Hope Uni is going well for Alex too.
I love your quilt aid block Catherine.. I was very very tempted to do this quilt. Yours is lovely.
You are making wonderful progress on Quilt Aid - mine will be in the cupboard for some time yet - and I'm looking forward to seeing Alex's and your progress on your Advent Angels - it's a lovely quilt.
