A winner , a finish and the Aurifil block

Good afernoon from Soggy Nova Scotia , it is raining and windy but oh I can be sooooooo thankful it is not snow ;-) I have a winner for my giveaway during the Think Ruffles blog hop , I used the random number generator and for the life of me I don't know how to copy and paste that so you will just have to trust me when I tell you it was Sharon  , I have contacted Sharon and she has responded so I will mail off a postcard to her early next week  and thanks to everyone who commented , it is great to have so many visitors .
  I have a finish to share , well technically I am planning on adding a few more flowers but for now I will call it a finish .

 I am quite pleased with it so far but really want to add some smaller flowers in the lower area so plan on making those over the weekend . I used a batik print for the border and I had to do some math to figure out if I would have enough as this was not quite a fat quarter , anyway after some calculations I decided I would or should have enough and I had approximately 1/2" left over , whew that was close. 
I also did this months Aurifil block , a simple one but a really nice one . I am happy to say I also won the Aurifil thread for last months blocks , it has not arrived just yet but when it does I will be sure to share , so exciting as I love that thread. 
That's it for me today , I am off now to make those flowers and a postcard ;-)  Take care and thanks so much for stopping by.
 hugs Sheila
