~Royal mail~

It's here! :-) I won this book in a giveaway QuiltSue had last month. I've never received mail from the UK and wondered how long it would take to get to the western US. Wonder no more! It's here!  :-))  And sweet Sue included a few extra's!  I love the Snap Happy bag she made!  And chocolate treats! ;-))

Thank you so much Sue!

Goals, Completions, Celebrating!

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been a bad blogger of late~ I've been visiting, just didn't have a lot to talk about here. Well, now I have a lot to talk about! lol

I finished my Charming Girls Club goals for the past 2 months. One was to do Butter Churn~ pattern by Sherri K. Falls and the November Le Petite project.

Another goal was to corral battings and backings to rent the HQ at my LQS. And I'm happy to report I got everything quilted and bound(!) that I had hoped to do! :-) This is the BOM we did on the HGTV quilter's message board. My friend Lindsay and I picked the blocks from various internet sites and presented them to the board members to do each month. I also used EQ to downsize the 12 inch block to a 4 inch one. I made the layout in EQ7, got my blocks together and took it to quilt last week. I used an all over panto called 'Featheration' by Meredith England.  I used 80/20 batting because I wanted the crinkle look. ;-) I'm really happy with how it turned out. :-)

If you are still with me~ I had this book in my stash and as I was unpacking I realized, it has very cute and quick projects in it, but isn't really my style. If you'd like to have it, just leave me a comment telling me so. If you really, really want it, and are a follower; tell me that in a second comment. This will be a short giveaway~ I'm headed to the PO Tuesday and would get it mailed to you then. So I'll draw Monday afternoon.  Good luck!

Happy Stitchin'!

A Fabulous Gift for me!!

The mailman pulls up to the house and rings the bell~ DH says 'what did you order?' And I could honestly say 'huh?' ~that's my response before I know I'm totally innocent. lol  And I was! Totally innocent, I mean! :-))  My Charming Girls Secret Santa gift arrived! ~~and you know, I was so busy making the gift for my Secret Santa that I totally forgot about the part where I'd receive a gift too! :-o  And look at my wonderful gift!!

It was wrapped so beautifully!  And she made the adorable cardinal card too! How did she know I love cardinals too? :-)  AKK! So sorry blogger tipped my photo! :-/ But it really is cute from any direction. :-))

And inside I found this fantastic log cabin table topper! It fits me to a T! And speaking of T's~ it has my favorite Thimbleberries fabrics in there!! Wow! She also sent this wonderful Holy Family decoration and chocolate! Oh boy!! Does she know me or what?! lol

Thank you so much Sharon! I'll bet your grandchildren love visiting Camp Gramma! (that's Sharon's blog, and if you haven't been, you need to!)

Thanks to all of you for stopping by in the last few weeks too. Things are calming down a bit and I plan to get back to more regular blogging. Sorry I didn't get a chance to answer your comments personally, I really appreciated each of them and plan to try to keep up a bit better in the future!


Have a great night!

Busy ~ Busy

Yep, its that time of the year and it seems like it just gets busier and busier! DS had a harrowing ride home from school for break which involved an accident. He & his friends are fine, his nose was broken but is healing well. We've had ice and more ice! Last night our power went out for a few hours. And ~the joys of home ownership!~ we have had more large limbs come down. :-/ But the good news is~ no damage to the house or cottage. And the kids are all ok. Whew!

Did you notice the little button in my sidebar? Yep! I won an issue of 100 Quilt Blocks from Quiltmaker! Maybe our luck is turning! :-)

Today I mailed out my Secret Santa gift for the Charming Girls Club~ I hope she likes it!! I had a bit of a hard time parting with it. LOL  ;-)

And I finished my Le Petite project for this month~ I'll quilt it next month. It is Sherri K. Falls Butter Churn pattern from This and That Pattern Co. I didn't do my borders like the pattern because I decided to make a table topper from the Park Ave layer cake I had left after making my Plan C quilt. Using up the bits and strips worked really well.

That's it from here! I hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with food and family fun!

'Gobble til you Wobble'! LOL :-)
