Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New year to all my TQS friends.

The Twelve Days of Christmas ( Or the Everlasting Turkey)

On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me:
I`ve bought a big, fresh turkey and a proper Christmas tree.

On the second day of Christmas much laughter could be heard
as we tucked into our turkey- a most delicious bird.

On the third day of Christmas came the people from next door.
The turkey tasted just as good as it had done before.

On the fourth day of Christmas came relations, young and old.
We finished up the Christmas pud and had the turkey cold.

On the fifth day of Christmas, outside the snowflakes scurried
But we were nice warm inside – we had the turkey curried.

On the sixth day of Christmas, the Christmas spirit died
As the children fought and bickered – we had turkey rissoles fried.

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love he did wince
When he sat down at the table and was offered turkey mince.

On the eighth day of Christmas the dog had run for shelter
He`d seen our turkey pancakes and the glass of Alka Seltzer.

On the ninth day of Christmas by lunchtime Dad was blotto
He knew that bird was back again, this time as a risotto.

On the tenth day of Christmas we were drinking home-made brew
As if that wasn`t bad enough, we were eating turkey stew.

On the eleventh day of Christmas the Christmas tree was moulting.
With chilli, soy and oyster sauce the turkey was revolting.

On the twelfth day of Christmas we had smiles upon our lips.
The guests had gone, the turkey too – we dined on fish chips.

:lol: Happy holidays, Rosemary! Thanks for the chuckle, or is it gobble gobble?

My quilting buddies.

I have some sad news. Ami just announced that she is doing AAQI for one more year. She believes that she will hit the million dollar mark this year and asked if I would still help her. So, I think we should help her go out with a BANG!

Here is a link to her blog so that you can read this in her words.

I personally will create more quilts than I did last year and am hoping to volunteer at the booth in Houston this November.

Are you with me?

Clara, I was also distressed to see that email this morning from Ami, but I certainly can understand how much work it has been for her and her desire to get back to actually quilting. I have 6 quilts in progress (that I had hoped to have done before the end of 2012, but life got in the way)—two are ready except for binding and label; one just needs about a half-hour more of quilting, then binding and label; one is more than half quilted; one is ready for quilting; and one just needs a bit more applique before quilting. I plan to do the binding on all of them at the same time, then ship them together. So I'm close, and I hope to register those by the end of the month. Then I have a few other things in line, but after mid-April, I can start on some more to meet Ami's August 1st deadline.

I am sure I can squeeze a few more out in 2013 Clara - but sadly it will have to be Flat Rita at the AAQI booth :lol:

[Zarah]

I will do my best to make more quilts for this purpose. Not promising how many

[rehak]

I have several planned, but nothing started. I picked up several of the Tambani embroideries for this, so I'll get those made up before August. I hope to help this effort go out in style!!

I too will try to complete a few more little quilts for this big heart initative. This is a great example of how a small group of people can begin a great change in knowledge and attitudes. I certainly want to support this effort!
