Back in September I bought the book Garden Club Quilts and it has sat on the shelf since. After hearing from Libby that there were a few bloggers (see the list on the sidebar) encouraging each other in the project, I too decided to jump in. Perhaps with the encouragement of others I'll actually get this one done. 
So far I have pulled some fabric and started tracing templates. Perhaps this weekend I might get some stitching down..
Just a couple of other things that I have found in my morning reading. Have a look at this stitching one women did for her hubby. Ahhh...I love my DH, but I would just use plain paper and a pen!
And lastly I leave you with another squirrel pic. This little lady(?) is quite brave and didn't seem to mind me taking pictures. I do wonder if it is the same one I've always taken pictures of and perhaps she knows the drill :o)
Have a good weekend!!
Until next time...

mmmm - I saw Libby egging everyone on with that one - looks like a lovely pattern and the plaids you've selected to work with are delicious
Ohhh.. you have started!!!! :o) Good luck.. still havent dug into the fabrics.. but have a quiltweekend coming up.. so I might start then!!! :o)))
I'll have the pompoms cheering everyone on. Looks like fun. It has inspired me to get back on my Primitive garden quilt.
You really did a nice post on our Garden Club quilt project!
Oh I so love it! I think quilters just think that we can do several projects at one time. I am just a beginner so I have to be careful or I will not finish anything. I am the biggest procrastinator. You can do it. This is a beautiful quilt.
Looks like another fun project, love all the homespuns. The quilt has so a great theme, these always tempt me too. Have fun...
You are right sometimes you need the support of friends doing the same project! I like the fabrics that you have chosen. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Like you, I would use a pen and paper as well.
That is going to be quite the project. It will be gorgeous when finished.
I agree that a pen and paper would have been my choice for the letter.
I enjoyed seeing the photos of your visit to the V&A Museum. That kimono was spectacular.
The garden quilt book reminded me of a group of quilters I knew near Baltimore who called themselves the Garden Club...they thought their husbands would scream if they knew they had joined/started another quilting group!
You will have great fun making the Garden Club quilt!!! I have had the top done for a couple of years now but haven't gotten around to quilting it yet (I really should...)
Good luck with the quilt - I love the fabrics you've chosen.
Cute squirrel too!

I think that love note lady has too much time on her hands!!! x
We are going to have such a great time working on this one together! I love this quilt.
And your squirrel pic... wonderful! How cute and such a great photo.
Hey Jane! I am the slow poke of this Garden Club group. We have all summer long to poke away at it - no worries - no fuss - just fun. :o) Gee, now that you've posted something I will have to get around to that as well. Enjoy...cute squirrel chick there on your feeder.
Yeah for the Garden Club quilt! Love your fabrics . . . . can't wait to see your first block *s*
Your fabrics are really pretty. Are you making the quilt on the cover? I love the fact that you have your own personal squirrel model -- she's adorable!
Wow, that looks like an ambitious project! Good luck. I loved the sewn love letter.
love the squirrel ! good luck with the quilt !
Oh my! I can't wait to see how this develops!
Can't wait to see how you progress with your quilt.
The book looks interesting and your choice of fabrics perfect!
