Christmas Quilt-a-long!

So far I have gotten a lot of prep work done.
I've been making the 1/4" double fold bias tape for making the snowflakes that I am making to exchange with friends this Christmas. Our exchange is December 16th!
This is a purse that now is all cut out and ready to assemble for my Mother. I am planning on delivering it to her at Thanksgiving. This is the project that I will finish tonight right after I finish making and eating dinner. Come back later and I will post a picture of the finished Margo Bag.
By the wee hours of Sunday morning, I finished the Margo bag!
Now I am off to bed......

PIF gifts have all arrived!

I just got the word today that the last of my three PIF gifts has finally arrived to it's destination. So now I can show what I sent.
Bonnie has received the butterfly Margo bag in Flordia.

Arlette has received the Flower Margo bag in Costa Rica.

Gina has received the Kitty Margo bag in England.
I hope everyone enjoyed participating in my Pay It Forward. I had fun reading your blogs and making a gift for new friends. I also enjoyed receiving the gift from Sharon
This was the first exchange I participated in and I think it was a success and hope to do it again, maybe in 2011. What do you think about doing some sort of exchange in 2011?
This is Judy from my quilt guild explaining how she constructs her T-shirt and her denim quilts. She also makes pot holders , walker bags, and many many other items for friends, family and charity out of old denim jeans. 
Her friend Susan helped with the program and they are planning to host a sew what to focus on t-shirt quilt making after the first of the year.
