The magazine is called Quilting Quickly - it is a new magazine from Fons and Porter - all the quilts in it are from the Missouri Quilt Company.  

You have to buy the magazine / bookazine  - to be able to make the quilt if that is the quilt we decide to do - we can not give out the supplies but will be able to discuss making the quilt - I don't want to break any copy right laws.  

the magazine is 9.99 at the store - the store I got it from discounts magazine prices - so I paid 6.99 for it - also Barbara said you can order one from the Missouri Quilt Company and they will autograph it for you - they are selling it for 9.95

Ok, I have a stupid question.  What is the website for the Missouri Quilt  Company?  I tried to find it, but no luck.

I started to order it from MSQS but they wanted to charge 5 dollars for shipping . I'll check out local bookstore first. I don't need an autograph. LOL

I just watched the tutorial for this and I think even a beginner like me can do this!  I love it and think it's a great idea.  Whether we do it together or not, I'm going to order the magazine, I love the quilts in it.

I love the smaller size.  Thinking of ordering the magazine even if we don't make it together.  Looks good.

I ordered my copy today after seeing a Daily Deal I couldn't pass up. Since i was paying the shipping anyway went ahead and got it. Saw a copy at JoAnn's tonight and the quilt looks like a good one to do , so count me in if you all do this together.

Oh we don't worry here about where anyone posts - we are having fun fun fun!!!

Barbara left this morning - I already miss her - doesn't seem possible how fast the time flew - but we did get a lot of her quilts basted and I think we could open a prodcution line now and fly through basting quilts - we got quite a system going towards the end.  It was much easier with 2 people.  I think we did 10 of Barbara's quilt tops.  I know we made quite a dent in the roll of batting she brought - it was quite difficult to pick it up when she first got here and easily went in the trunk last night when we packed up her car.  

It is a cold day today for her Brithday!  Yes our Barbara is 61 days young and we wish her a very happy Brithday.  I gave her some quilty things for her Birthday and if she had stayed today we would have gotten her a cake - and I probably should have done that yesterday - shame on me - but hind sight is 50/50 and if she comes again next year for her birthday we will be ready.  We just don't have cake very often here as DH doesn't eat it and it would go right to my hips... but we did make her - what she said - was her favorite meal last night - hamburgers and french fries.  I forgot - oh my I am forgetful - Hamburger rolls and DH didn't want to go back out to the store so we used a fresh loaf of garlic herb bread and I think we found a winner from now on instead of rolls - it was good bread... We do have some leftovers for the week now since I had a different meal for her each night... 

I finished up month 7 of Christines BOM quilt - 14 blocks for month 7 - 76 pieces in each block - whew - it took me 5 hours to just cut out the material for these blocks...

Now I am on to finishing up the border on Debbie's quilt center for the Round Robin - I have it almost completed - I have a week to get it done and I am going to try though to get it done a little early... I plan on working on it today... that is if my arms relax a little - amazing what basting quilts does to those muscles that you hardly every use and don't think that you are using them basting quilts - 

I think I am off to take a nap this morning.  Barbara had to be on the road early so I slept in my chair to make sure that I woke her up this morning so she could get home before she had to turn the car into the rental place.

We miss you Barbara and are sending cold artic Oklahoma Hugz to all this morning... The temperature is supposed to be 21 degrees colder today... brrr.. . stay warm all!

There is a blog called "Bee in My Bonnet" that has a couple of small projects that may be good for the Christmas All Year.  I especially liked the Mini Design Board, Lined Shoe Bags and Love Handles.  I'm not savvy enough to teach them, but they look like something that we could use.  Maybe someone else could lead one of them
