I got TWO packages from the UK this weekend!
One was a blog winning, some nice FQs and a tissue pouch and some insense.
another was from Chris, december’s pincushion! plus a cute little tree ornament and 4 LOLLIES 🙂 I don’t dare open them, they are SO cute, but I think once my kids find them, they’ll be gone.
I’m also working on easy street- just step #2 still, but I’ve done more today too.
Plus I’m working on a “secret” project for Connecting threads- a quilt, where I’ll have the pattern for sale there! the top is done….
Sunday night was our Church’s Christmas party and talent show and I gave away a quilt to someone by doing a raffle. Our pastor introduced me and said in the quilting world I was famous like Madonna! LOL….. it was hilarious….THANKS!! 🙂
oh, and while I was picked out a name out of the basket, I bumped it and all the papers went flying everywhere…. Then we had our pastor pick the name instead and he picked a “lady” who is pregnant, and I had just told them a few months ago, that they were NEXT to have a baby- they have 2 kids the same age as my older 2.
This was the quilt I gave away, a sampler quilt, my own pattern where I taught a class in making this at our community college in 2011.
So now we “hope” it’s a GIRL!! we’ll see 🙂
otherwise I will make her a boyish quilt, her older daughter already eyed this one and asked who the quilt is for.

Madonna??? Oh wow! I'm not sure that I would be thrilled with that one. I am sure she was thrilled with her quilt win.
A very funny anecdote and a beautiful quilt.
I love it… the quilt and the story. It is so funny how God works sometimes. He makes sure the right person receives the right gift. 🙂
Cute post. Can't wait to see what you've been up to for CT.
