To the victor go the spoils...

And yes, I was spoiled!!! Thanks to Rosa over at Rosa's World for the BRIGHT place mats and candy she sent me..



The front (I think)




and the back... with candy!!!


And to make the postal service happier, Carin over at Conceived Without Regard for Reason or Reality sent these wonderful spoils....

This is fabric for a BRIGHTly colored wall hanging or baby quilt. When I get it finished I'll post pics

And a really cool star quilts book (spiral bound even!) and some Hot Tamales!!

Thanks to both Rosa and Carin. You've made my month... Not a bad haul for it being my birthday month!!!

An antique give away

My friend Stephanie over at A Ditchin' Time Quilts is giving away this antique doll quilt. It's really cute but I don't believe the dog is included. Click here to enter.

Talk about deadlines!

So a co-worker is expecting his 2nd child in January... No big deal... I have enough time to whip out a quilt and get it to him... Yesterday (Monday) he says that today (Tuesday) will be his last day!! So I come home and create this little baby quilt and a gift for the 2 year old big sister! The parents-to-be are both BIG Kansas Jayhawk fans and I'll bet the lil' one will be too!

And a crayon roll for the big sister .

It's time to gobble up this give away..

I've actually finished some projects!

I know it's been a few days since an actual quilting related post. But I have been busy on various projects. I've got my mother's quilt back from the long arm quilter, worked on my BOM, finished my sister's quilt top and it's now at the quilter and a few other projects. I have 2 more to start and finish before Christmas.


My mother's quilt is DONE!!!!


This block looks a lot better than the block from last month.

As soon as I get my other projects together and back from the quilter I'll post them for you.

Veterans Day
