Luck and Gratitude

I had a really lucky June!  And I've been pinching myself!  First Darlene at Quilting Daze had a wonderful anniversary party and I went home with this lovely treat!~ Well, ok, she mailed it to me. But I won! I love it! :-) I've been 'testing' it all over the house and driving DH crazy. :-)  I don't have any walls in the cottage to hang it there (cabinets, shelves, design wall, windows), and besides, I want it in the house~ where I can see it every day! :-) Thank you Darlene!  :-)

Then Kelly announced the end of the Charming Girls Club and the winners of her last drawing~ yup, you guessed it~ I was one of the lucky winners! Kelly was giving a gift certificate to her shop, Cotton Charm Quilts. I asked her to surprise me because I adore everything in her shop. lol  And look what she sent~ this fantastic placemat pattern and 2 gorgeous charm packs! Perfect! :-)  Thank you Kelly!  :-)

Ok, then I was struck by lightning! No, not really. ;-)  I was drawn from Sherrie's parade of Le Petite projects to receive a package from Carrie from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.~~ and wow! :-o  Not one, but two Layer Cakes arrived in the mail!! :-))  Thank you so much Carrie!  And Sinta for sending them. ;-)

I was sooo excited by all the fantastic mail that I had to settle myself down and do some sewing. :-) It calms me~ does it do that to you?  I finished up Step 2 in the Quiltmaker mystery by Debbie Caffrey. 

And speaking of mysteries... Brenda found this one at The Crafty Unicorn, and I think I am up for it!  Would you like to join us?? :-))

That's all for today~
 Happy Stitchin'!!

Catching up!

Slowly but surely! :-)

I finished Step One of the Secret Window mystery quilt in Quiltmaker magazine and am working on Step Two.  My sewing machine and I are like two peas in a pod and I'm lovin' it!!  :-))

Hope you are having a great week too!!
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

A Sneaky Peek~

I just finished quilting a quilt for my Mom at Granny Quilts.  You will have to wait to see the front on her blog. :-)  I used an all over panto, but can't remember the name of it now! I'll go out to the cottage and check in a bit. ;-)  I'm going to be personally delivering it in a couple weeks. :-))

Have you seen the newest issue of Quiltmaker magazine?  They have the first installment of a Debbie Caffrey mystery. I love a good mystery! :-)  I plan to play along and chose these fabrics~ I'm not sure this is the order I will go with, but it will definitely be these 9. :-)

Have a good weekend!

I am going sewing!! :-)
