I REALLY must check my emails BEFORE I blog!!
Yesterday morning I went right into writing my post for the day, then started going down my side bar…coffee in hand…blog surfing…nothing like it first thing in the morning!! Then I came to Carol’s Crafty Creation and EUREKA!!..and my Coffee went flying! MY was name written on a piece of paper!!… I WON!! Yup! That’s ME alright!!
WHOOPTEEEDOOO!!
I won two die cutters for my Lady GO! GO! She is GO!ing to be SEW happy!!
I whipped to my emails and sure enough there were TWO emails from Carol and one from my friend Claire with the title…WILL YOU WAKE UP!!! YOU WON! She sounded like I felt!!
So what TWO dies did I choose? Well I have had my eye on the GO! Holiday Medley die for sometime now…Can’t you see snowflakes or holly sprinkled on quilts and runners…!!
…and the Double Wedding Ring die cutter was calling my name!! I LOVE Double Wedding Ring Quilts and I KNOW there is only one way I would EVER make one…and that would be with the Double Wedding Ring GO! die cutter! SEW exciting!!
So THANK YOU SO MUCH CAROL!!
On the stitching front~the Round Robin Fall stitchery on Karen’s Wool Crazy Pin Cushion is done!! What a fun project!
And Yes, I left plenty of room for Lori and Kaaren to work their magic!! :o)
Oh and here’s a tip for you…thanks to my quilting buddy, Delores! When your marking pencil is dull, sharpen it by rolling it on some sand paper…works like a charm and your pencil stays nice and long! Thanks for sharing, Delores!

Paulette, I'm so happy that you won a prize on my blog. Good choices for the dies. Wish I could have seen that coffee cup flying, LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou must tell how do you do such tiny appliques. I love what you've done but I look at it's tiny self and I think wow is that small.
Congratulations! I can hardly wait to see what kind of quilted yumminess you come up with using the new dies!
ReplyDeleteYour touch on the Round Robin is wonderful. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the 2 die cutters. You are the luckiest person. It will be exciting to see your projects. The only thing I have ever won is my husband and that is a good thing. I keep trying though.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you're one lucky gal! Like your die choices. Waggville is FINISHED! Ready for the Fair. TTYS.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win - woohoo!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe 'finish' on Karen's pincushion is adorable.
Woohoo - congratulations!!!!!!! Great choice you've picked out!
ReplyDeleteYour addition to the pincushion is just darling - you do beautiful work! And thanks for the tip with the sandpaper, I'll have to remember that one. My pencil sharpener just eats them up - they get sharp, but much shorter.
At first glance, I thought you had rubbed your marking pencil on carpeting. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love what you added to my pincushion! Love it, love it.
ooo, more dies!!! congrats. Your kitty applique is so cute. I can't wait to see all the pin cushions done.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paulette! I'm sure you'll love those dies.
