Is it just me, or does it seem like the closer we get to the end of the Twilight Stars Quilt-Along, the faster the weeks go by? I could have sworn I posted blocks for Week #41 just yesterday, but indeed, that was already a whole week ago! I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun! And speaking of Twilight Stars fun, I hope you’re ready to have some more… Block releases for Week #42 are #20 and #42!
Let me just say, I am so proud of each and every one of you who have started this QAL and stuck with it! Every time I think I can’t be more impressed with your work, another week’s worth of finished block photos flows through my social media feed and I’m impressed all over again. As the weeks go by I’m starting to see more and more photos of what look like full quilts rather than stacks of loose blocks, and I’m super excited about it! We really are coming down to the final count down of this QAL, and the proof is in the work!
Thank you so much to everyone who continues to take the time to post photos of your finished blocks! I really hope you’ve won a prize for your effort, but if not, there’s still a few more chances to win before it’s over. All you have to do to for a shot at a prize is post a photo of your completed blocks for the week along with the required book, Triangle Gatherings and Primitive Gatherings Triangle Paper included in the picture. You can post it on either our Facebook or Instagram pages, or both! Just remember to also include the hashtag #TwilightStarsQAL in the photo as well. The winner for Week #42 is Ruth Tacoma! Ruth knows just what to do when Mother Nature has one of her tantrums… There’s absolutely nothing better than cozying up to stitch inside when the weather is on the fritz – unless maybe you had a couple of delicious salted caramels to snack on while you’re at it. That would be even better! Don’t worry, Ruth, your charm pack and caramel stash are on the way!
What’s on your agenda for the weekend? I know many of you will be visiting family and friends for the big holiday and I wish you all a safe trip! I love traveling but also know exactly how stressful and exhausting it can be, which is one of the reasons I don’t plan to stray very far from home this year. We have a simple family dinner planned at my brother’s place, but that’s about it. It’s not that I don’t like the hustle and bustle of a large holiday gathering with my people, it’s just also nice to stay home to Netflix and chill sometimes. Not to mention, my third grandson is getting ready to make his first appearance into the world any day now (I may have just squealed a bit with delight just then – don’t judge) so going anywhere far away is totally out of the question!!!
Before I HOP on out of here for the weekend, I want to give a shout-out to Celia G. and Darlene R. for making my day with their comments on the blog last week! Comments and likes help the algorithm like US, which is super important in today’s internet based world. In other words… I REALLY appreciate it, plus I like giving out prizes, which works out great for you. If you’d like to be considered for one, leave a comment… It’s that easy!
Please remember that both Primitive Gatherings and The Gathering will both be closed tomorrow – Saturday, March 30th and Sunday, March 31st, 2024 in order to give my PG family some well deserved time off to celebrate Easter. We’ll be back open for business at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, April 1st – no foolin’! See you soon – and happy Easter!!! ~Lisa
