Dear Friends,

Best wishes for the new year! A great ending to a great 2011 here at Bellwether. Just shipped a new Amish commission to one of our best quilters (Green Mountains, Double Nine-Patch), wedding gift of a longtime customer for her sister in Vermont.

Also shipped four (4) of seven (7) completed pieces to a new customer in New Jersey. She's a spectacular quilter!

Ready on the marking table is a new wonderful applique holiday sampler from Georgia.

And on its way from DC, a new quilt top from another favorite customer. A Piece 'O Cake design applique wall piece is completed for mailing for a very talented quilter in New Mexico, recommended by another incredible hand-piecer in Albuquerque.

We are currently piecing an amazing adaptation of a 1997 appliqued poppies (Home & Gardens Best of Show winner). Also made by our newest customer in New Jersey.

Our hand quilters are eager for winter work before beginning spring gardens. So please let us hear from you, (410) 867-0665.

Best regards,

Georgina
