I can't believe a whole week has gone by since I last posted , life has been hectic to say the least . On a bright note I won a couple of giveaways lately , first off from
Quilt Sew Happy , a fantastic win sponsored by Connecting Threads , a bundle of fat quarters called Line Dried .
These are such fun , cute little old fashion prints , what to make that will show them off , any suggestions ?? Thanks so much Jacqueline , I am thrilled .
The next giveaway was from
Judy Cooper in Newfoundland , some really cute Shimmers and a handmade card by Judy .
I had a choice of three shimmers so I chose the houses first as it reminds me of my visit to St. John's a few years back , the star fish because I would be so excited to find one as a child and lastly the bird because I love birds . The card is adorable with some embroidery . Thanks so much Judy I really appreciate you choosing me .
A friend was downsizing her stash and I bought a few kiddie prints from her , could't resist . I started immediately to cut and piece this baby quilt for my sisters grandchild .
Super busy for sure but also nice and colourful which I like for a baby quilt . Here is a close up of a block .
The light blue squares have little paw prints which I felt was appropriate . Now I need to buy some batting and get this quilted .
I completed the OOM for June , a pattern from Trish on a FB wool applique group .
This was a real simple one to make , I have a nice little collection now :-)
This evening is the last meeting for the Thistle Quilt Guild until September and we are going to have a pot luck before the meeting starts , have to go work up my taste buds .
Before I go just want to see how many have made and sent their postcards for the swap ? I have heard from a few participants who have mailed theirs and a couple who have received their cards . I just finished mine last night so they will go in the mail tomorrow . I had so much fun with these and hope my partners will like them .
Thanks for stopping by today and hope you have a terrific day .
Hugs Sheila

ReplyDeleteLife IS so busy these days. I love the bright colors in a baby quilt too. I think it looks great.

ReplyDeleteWhat great wins! I love that fat quarter bundle, and can't wait to see what you make with it. I mailed my postcard last Friday, to Linda. We're away on a little trip, so I don't know if hers has made it to me yet or not.

I just mailed my postcard yesterday, and heard from my partner that she mailed on the 1st. It was such fun making the postcard, I can't wait to swap again!
ReplyDeleteI love your baby quilt; bright and fun to look at. Your ornament is sweet, and maybe you should have bought a lottery ticket:) You're on a good luck streak.
ReplyDeleteNice wins! Love what Judy sent you. I would love to have won her giveaway but so glad that you did. I love the shimmer with the houses. The kiddie quilt is just perfect! Your sister's grandchild will just love it! I love the polka dots. I sent my post card to Sunny earlier in the week. I see from the comments above, that mine is on its way from Sunny so I will be watching.
ReplyDeleteLovely wins in the post Sheila and that quilt is super fun. xx
