Well -- kind of a HUG.
Jo in Scotland often posts pictures of little Tristan (who is growing rapidly!) on Facebook. We are having great fun watching him grow. He so loves his purples and his Mama's quilts and fabric... we're doing a little HUG block shower just for Tristan.
So if you'd like to participate... let me know and I'll get you the details.
When Tristan was born, some of you will remember the snafu with the blocks we sent that were mislaid. (My fault and I still feel terrible.) We did send a few replacement blocks which Jo has safely tucked away.
So here is our plan. We're making 6 1/2 unfinished blocks in purples with white as the background. You can do a traditional block or wherever your creativity takes you. We are also "organizing" the opportunity to choose a number or letter to focus your block so that me might have enough to play with as he learns his ABC's and 123's.
We want to be careful not to replicate our numbers and letters -- so if you would like to do one of those blocks, please email me before you start and I'll scratch your letter off the list -- or let you know if it has already been claimed.
As always -- participation is totally optional. If you wish to make a block or blocks -- you can send them to me in Michigan or directly to Jo in Scotland. Email me for the address.
Thanks
Kate in MI

PS -- I do understand that some of you prefer NOT to do FaceBook. But you might want to at least check it out. If all you do is sign up (using NOT your regular email -- create a GMAIL or Yahoo mail account just for this) and only join the RCTQ group - you would have NO personal information out there at all. And your posts would ONLY be visible to the other members of the RCTQ group -- where here they are visible to the world. So depending on how you use it -- FB can be more private than here. And the ability to see the pictures is quite nice. Again -- for those who choose not to, I fully understand.
