The little reveal

Good morning , a lovely day here on the east coast , the sun is shining and the breeze is just right . First off I want to ask did everyone who signed up for the postcard swap receive a partner ?? I think I got everyone but don't want to miss anyone either and it still isn't too late to sign up I will find a partner for you :-)
 Last evening was the monthly meeting of the Thistle Quilt Guild and we finally showed our birthday projects , there were some real fun projects displayed and if you remember I gave you a sneak peak a while back .
Looks like a starry night right , well that is because it is or I hoped it would look like that and you will now see why .
Sagittarius , the Archer , I was born in December so my sign is Sagittarius .The colour is Turquoise which is why I did the Archer in that colour , the element is fire so I used this fabric for the binding which looked a bit like soft flames to me  and then I added the constellation for this sign and used beads to represent the stars  and of course I embroidered the word Sagittarius . Pretty simple little design and just 12" , it was a fun challenge .
 I'd like to mention that our guild is having their annual show next Saturday in Westville , it would be wonderful to have you join us , I know it will be a great show , we had a tremendous show and tell last night , lots of people finishing up projects so you won't be disppointed .
We are selling tickets on this quilt as well , this picture does not do it justice , it is simply beautiful , they did an amazing job on the hand quilting . Hope to see you there and for those much too far away I will share photos later .
 Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day , enjoy the little things in life .
 Hugs Sheila
