winner ~ and thank you!!

its so much fun to give things away, and i am making plans to do more of just that, as i approach the third anniversary of this blog in october!  wow ~ what a ride it has been!

but first things first.

ruthanne!  i will send you the ‘grace amazing’ wall hanging if you will contact me with your address and i will get this sent right off to you!

THANK you so much for all your comments; each one was precious and sweet!

in the meantime… i had friday off from work ~ oh man, what a gift!  i love long weekends!  and i was able to stay on track, sewing up a storm, as they say.  i finished two more skirts this weekend!  happy to report also, that my serger works great!  who knew?!!! lol

and i played steadily at finishing another G R A C E quilt.  {what can i say? it’s my favorite word!} in fact, i’ve been playing with several other words this past weekend, all on smaller quilts, and painting a little bit on them, too.   i’ve also been hard at work taking pictures, taking notes, and getting inspired.  and i’m  writing another tutorial; this technique is about a beautiful scalloped edge technique on a baby blanket.  and yes… more quilted feathers, of course!   {i have sure loved every minute!}

here’s a sneak peek of grace, and a tip or two about metallic thread coming to the blog soon:
and a sneak peek of the cute baby blanket material!  {it’s such a ‘hooty cutie!!’}   these owls are so adorable!  i swear… i could make lots of these just because they’re so fun, fast and simple!  {and did i mention they are cute?!!}

talk to you soon!  thanks for being a reader, and a wonderful encourager to me!

blessings!
xoxo
