MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON OR HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL

By: Elaine Rose

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As we break up today we are all tired and looking forward to our break.
Are you as disorgansied for Christmas as I am? If so I have a great idea for decorating your Christmas cake at the last minute (Sorry Mum, I know this is not how you would have done it).

Don't forget to send in your blocks.

Have you sent in your entries for the chance to win a gorgeous bundle of fabric from Leutenegger?
Entries close on June 22nd. Competition details and Conditions of Entry are in Vol 20 No 5. All you have to do is make a block measuring 6 1/2in square from raw edge to raw edge using any combination of bright pink, purple and green fabrics. After we've picked the eight lucky winners the AP&Q team are using the blocks to make quilts for charity/charities, so they will be going to a good cause.

Floods in Queensland and Holidays

By: Elaine Rose

Hi everyone,
I had a wonderful restful two weeks off work over Christmas and the New Year, now it's back to the grindstone!
I feel so sad for the people in Queensland who are suffering from the torrential rain and flooding, I cannot imagine what it must be like going back to find your homes and businesses a sodden mess; treasured items and stock ruined; and jobs lost due to the damage. It must be an awful struggle cleaning it up, and trying to get your life back on track. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you all.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

On behalf of the team at AP&Q I'd like to wish all of our readers, advertisers and contributors a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
