Great Day!

Tuesday was a GREAT day!

First Sandy of Stitches and etc. sent me an email letting me know that I won My Memories software to use for making digital scrapbook pages.  I'm so excited!  I can hardly wait to play with the it and my pictures.  Sandy had made the most beautiful pages of her garden flowers.  Just think of the fun!  Thanks Sandy!

Second:  We got half of our skylights put in.  I'm not sure if the person putting them in had every worked with skylights before, but he put in only the dome.  He forgot to put the flat piece in.  But at least we don't have tarps blowing in the wind.  When he was installing the window, my husband asked him about that and he said it didn't come like that.  So my husband was reviewing the bill last night and the bill does show that the flat piece is part of the package and so now we have to call him and have him come back.


Third, I finally figured out my numbers.  I did freehand them and I am stitching the number with Perle cotton. I took a picture, but my camera battery died.  I'm heading to the grocery store tonight, so will pick up the new battery than.   I stitched the numbers on 1 through 7 and half of 8 last night while I was at Quilt Guild.

Fourth, Quilt Guild was amazing.  There are so many talented women in that group.  I know I have said that every time I go, but it's true.  I get blown away by the talent every time.  As I have in the past, I will post the link to the Guild blog when the pictures are up.

Have a great day!

It Came!

Guess what I got in the mail today?   My new book that I won from Adventures in Oz or Ruby Slipperz .

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I'm so excited by the projects in the book.  There are 25 quilt and craft patterns, it's going to be hard to decide which one to try first.  "Fresh Cuts" by Debbie Mumm has a very different look for her.  I remember her as more country or folk arty.

The owl on the front of the book is a pincushion that I really want to make up.  Maybe something "wise" in my sewing room would help me be "wise" too.  Or use my scraps "wisely".  "WHO" knows what things I may learn.

I WON!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANNIE!!!  I'm so excited!!!!  I won a giveaway at "Adventures In Oz" .   I will soon be the proud owner of a book by Debbie Mumm called "Fresh Cuts".  Looks like it has some fun ideas.  Will let you know more about it once I have it in my hands.  LOL 
I'm working at getting my binding sewn together tonight. And I hope to get it sewn onto the quilt.   Yesterday I did get one string block made.  I thought that was pretty good considering all the commitments my husband  and I had.
