First of all I need to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Gran (the Knot-y Embroidery Lady). Yesterday after returning from the Doctor’s Office (good news is I’m going to live-the x-ray was clear, bad news is I am still coughing and feeling yucky) I went straight to bed and slept most of the day away. I have decided that if the process of getting better is going to take time then I am going to baby it along. Anyways, my husband arrived home with a parcel…he had stopped at the mailbox and it was the Give Away that I won from Gran’s blog. It was this book…a Single Thread! 
What a perfect day to get it! Because I had slept most of the day, I was up most of the night…reading!! Great book…excellent story!! So thank you Gran!! I’m loving it!! I will be on the look out for more of Marie Bostwick’s books!…I can’t wait to finish this one off~ and I am HOPING for a happy ending…!
On the Quilting Front~
I wanted to share one of Vickie’s entries from the Cowichan Exhibition~
Isn’t it gorgeous!! Vickie used a Charm Pack to create this table topper…I absolutely LOVED IT!!
She called it a folded yo-yo but you start with a hexagon shape. I am going to do some heavy duty sweet talking and see if Vickie will give us a tutorial on how to make these!! It is SO sweet!!
SEW stay tuned…I may have to get a Hexagon die cutter for my Lady GO!GO! :o)
Have a wacky Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P
Nothing like a surprise package to brighten up a bad day. Wonderful quilt and unique look.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't get a hexagon cutter, lol.
I am still working on mine, it is addicting.

ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon! Glad the x-ray was clear :)
ReplyDeleteDo hope you get rid of that nasty bug asap as it does leave you less time to quilt. Hoping you will be feeling like new real soon. Rest sounds like the best medicine for you.
