I JUST LOVE THE MAIL PLANE

I won this wall hanging a while back from Diva Quilts. This photo does not do it justice....absolutely amazing.... Thanks so much Kit, it truly is lovely. She truly is an artist that thinks outside of the box.



Then this next package was a total surprise. Regina sent this to me, she is the one that won the Ginger Jar quilt. Look at the little bag.....look what is inside...ummmmm but that little bag is the cutest. If my memory serves me right (could be wrong) but she sent me the pattern for this but I couldn't figure it out but now thatI see it.....easy and soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute. Love the pin cushion....What a fun surprise.


I also got some wonderful Christmas cards, thanks soooo much!!

LOOK WHAT IS JUST A MOUSE CLICK AWAY!!!

THIS PATTERN CAN NOW BE FOUND AT INCHWORM FABRICS

DO I REALLY HAVE TOO???

So I had the below package sent to my sons....go take a look....

I tried every way in the world for it to fit in my luggage....but then the fear of it getting broken came to play.

Did I want to carry it the full 17 hours and 3 different flights? NO>>>>>>>

But here it is in the Dallas airport eating with us at Champs. Got some really good questioning looks....the security at the Dallas airport was really rude about it...she said she guess I could take it with me. WHAT!!!!! She guessed....who was she anyways?????? I didn't have any carry on luggage....some people and authority!! Okay, we won't open that can of worms or get on that soap box today..



Now here it is safe at home....this package made it but my luggage didn't.....we won't go there either!! No I AM NOT GRUMPY....( sheweee I need to find my happy place)....



So you ask, along with everyone that was eyeing me..... WHAT IS IT???

Is it a small surf board? (too small for my fat self)...

Is it a thin skate board with no wheels?

A glass pane?

The blueprint for my new sewing room (oh...baby yesss.....come to momma............but nooooo).

I got this from my new best friend, Kelly,over at I have a notion. She was having a 25% off sale...

oh...why is she my new best friend?

Why else.....she has all these wonderful play pretties and if I am good, maybe I can come and play at her house!!!!

So....it is two Quick Points Rulers... it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome....so I am making these.....


That is what the small rotary cutter was for.....but since my cutter was in my luggage, I just used a marking pen and then cut with scissors.....

These rulers are also for prairie points...I have only used the small ruler....

Oh...I have a really really adorable (mother of 3 sons) friend that has started a blog, if by chance you have a few mintues, go check out her blog. Yes, she lives in Texas. Her name is Jennifer and her blog is Patchwork Possibilities. She is truly awesome and has been quilting for years (for her years that is, she is still a young chickie).

Oh..by the way, we did get our luggage on Thursday....

Next to last day for my giveaway!!!!!!

MAIL CALL........look what all came in while I was gone.......

Sue from Alderwood quilts sent this package.....she was in a car accident and had fully intended to send these at the time of the tsunami but......even with the pain she was in....she worried about these items and the people of Samoa...she even apologized for being so late.....I say why apologize....what a wonderfu person to worry when she was in such pain...but from what she says, she is lucky to be alive and we are lucky to have her too... Thanks sooo much!!

Oh...Sue did say that all this was not just from her, so I must truly thank the Westside Quilters Guild as well....you all are wonderful!!!



Sue sent pillowcases...

ROUND ROBIN - Row by Row

I have created a blog just for the Round Robin I am trying to form. I have 5 people so far but even if you are part of the five, will you go over to the blog and read the direction and comment telling me that you are willing to do this for sure. We will give everyone two months to complete each round. When we have atleast 6 people we will proceed.

My sister has helped me find a row by row that will make it easy to stick to the guidelines. Also, If you sign up, I will allow you to be a moderator on the blog and we can all show our work.

Thanks so much, and hopefully, I will see you over there.

Dont forget about the giveaway below...I know, you don't need to tell me what a nag I am...

URGENT NOTICE !!!! HOT OFF THE MACHINE!!

Yep, my first completed project for the year....the signature quilt that Linda, Fiber Fibrications organized. I did mine a little different. I found matching material for the muslin (Moda off white) and then I put different color blocks next to each muslin...then....I added names. I got to thinking that I have more than 12 blogging friends...so I hope I don't upset some of you but I added your names and will continue to add more on the colored slots... What a better way to mark 2009 than with all of my blogging friends on a quilt....

Don't forget my giveaway below!!!
