Winnings and Quilting

Last week was a lucky one for me! I won Yuki's giveaway and she shipped it to me very fast.

I won a kit to make a Compass block. I haven't made one before and I see I have to use a foundation paper and templates. It will be a challenge and fun! Thank you so much Yuki! I think she has more to give away so make sure to stop by her blog here.

Caroline from The Contented Quilter awarded me this Blogger award! Thank you so much Caroline for thinking of me! She designs her own very creative quilts, if you have a moment stop by her lovely blog.

I have to pass this award to 7 other bloggers:

Millie at Millie's Quilting,

Jean at Happy Sewing Room,

Kathy at Humble Quilter,

Yuki at Yuki Quilts,

Domestic Designer,

Lola at And Sew On...,

and all my followers!

I have to tell you 7 things you don't know about me, but if you read my blog you probably know a lot! :)

I was busy this weekend, I quilted this Fall panel for a gift for my sister-in-law's family. They live in Hawaii so this will remind them of Pennsylvania.

I also got this new fabrics. The fabric is called Pretty face by Northcott.

Life is Grand Award

I got a second award! Life is Grand! Thanks to my dearest friend Millie, from "Millie's Quilting" for nominating me for second award! She is a professional long arm quilter and she has a very interesting blog, so be sure to stop by here!

Life is Grand! Yes, it is! I usually learn from my own experience, I learned that life is precious after I lost my father. I miss him dearly!

The Rules are I have to list 5 reasons why my life is "grand", and then pass it on to five more peeps.

1. My life is grand because I am married to the love of my life.
2. My family is in good health!
3. I have the best family that supported all my dreams and told me I can do anything I want.
4. I am very happy my dad met my husband and he really liked him. I am thankful for that.
5. I have met a lot of good people in my life and I keep meeting more.

Now is my turn to nominate 5 blogger with this Grand Award:

• Katleen from Quiltldy.blogspot.com
  
• Julie from Julie1960-quiltsfromdownunder.blogspot.com/
  
• Kathy from Humble Quilter

• Karen from Quiltsnkaboodle.blogspot.com
  

Happy Sewing!

They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give attention to these writers!
